Chef Dabiz Muñoz attended as a guest The Anthill last Thursday, to have a conversation about haute cuisine, parenting and nutrition, as well as to review what has been a year full of successes. After winning, for the third consecutive year, the award as the best chef in the world at the The Best Chef Awardsthe Madrid chef reached another great personal milestone in 2023: that of being a father.
Pablo Motos has taken advantage of the visit of the DiverXO chef to talk about his recent fatherhood and ask him What kind of food do you prepare for your little daughter? Laia, who has not yet reached her birthday. The guest began by explaining the type of diet that his partner, Cristina Pedroche, and he had decided on for the little girl: “From six months on, Laia has been feeding complementary to breast milk. You have to be very careful and knowledge of what type of food is given, in what form and with what texture,” he explained. The cook clarified that this practice can sometimes be harmful, since “she has a very small esophagus,” and she can only eat soft things that do not run the risk of choking.

Taking this into account, Dabiz has explained that, at home, he prepares all kinds of dishes for his little girl: from Russian red shrimp fillet burgers to candied cocochas, including other dishes such as low temperature cheek pads. “You see how he eats and it’s amazing”; his father commented proudly.
The chef is also very clear about which foods his daughter will not eat. “I will never give him industrial pastries, ultra-processed food with additives… If she eats something like cococha today, which is a gelatinous texture, that texture will not seem strange to her when she is one and a half or almost two years old.” Muñoz concluded: “It is about generating a database in her head organically. Will grow up with a healthy relationship with food”.
Dabiz Muñozthrough his social networks, shared a few weeks ago his own version of the Russian filletsa recipe designed especially for his daughter Laia. In this case, the cook does not make them with pork or beef, but from fillets of chickena meat healthier that will achieve a balanced recipe that is juicy and full of flavor.
The recipe consists of finely chopping the chicken tenderloin and mixing it with spices such as oregano, nutmeg and garlic powder. The ingredient that differentiates this recipe is the bread crumbs (without salt or sugar), moistened in oat milk, which gives the fillets a soft and fluffy texture, similar to that of a hamburger. This method not only enriches the flavor, but also ensures that the meat melts easily in the mouth, optimizing the dining experience for diners of all ages.
