Provided is an apparatus (100) for preparing a food puree comprising a chamber (102) for containing food ingredients and a steam supply (104) for supplying steam to the chamber for steaming the food ingredients. A liquid supply (106) supplies a liquid to the chamber and an agitator (108) purees the steamed food ingredients in the presence of the liquid to obtain the food puree. A user interface (110) permits user selection of a texture of the food puree. A controller determines a steam parameter and a liquid amount to be supplied by the liquid supply according to the user selection. The controller further controls the steam supply and the liquid supply according to the determined steam parameter and liquid amount. Further provided is a method for preparing the food puree.
