7.Start Small
Don’t overwhelm yourself with a plate full of new foods. Instead, serve familiar favorites along with one new food you’re ready to try. Commit to just a few bites. Dietitian and feeding specialist Ellyn Satter calls this giving yourself «an out»: If you don’t like the new food, you’ll still have something to eat.
8.Use Your Comfort Zone
Make a new food more appetizing by pairing it with something you enjoy. Top new foods with well-liked sauces or seasonings to help them seem less strange and unusual. For example, put breadcrumbs or bacon on Brussels sprouts.
