Home made food for five week old kittens?

My cat have three adorable kittens…everything was fine, until about four days ago, when I noticed they make more noise than usual. I called the vet, to be sure and he says everything is fine…more than fine. Kittens need more food than mother can provide in this moment, as they are very big :)
Anyway, I was relieved to hear that…vet recommended me some food for kittens of that age, but here is a problem: that’s all industrially made food. I give my cats only natural, home cooked or prepared food, so they can be healthy and strong (as I noticed canned or dry food many times made them feel bad). So I’m wondering, is there some food for kittens of that age, that could be home prepared? Vet just nodded when I asked, but said nothing more…guess he’s more for a industrially version.
Any cat owners/experts on this subject, that could help? Thanks in advance :D
Haha, don’t presume, please :)
When I said cooking, I meant cleaning from dangerous parts (like tiny bones and stuff), chopping and similar. My cats eat poultry, fish and meat. I add cooked rice to the diet, time to time, by the vet’s suggestion and add some raw carrots and pumpkin seeds, for their better digestion and to prevent worms…as most of my cats lived to an old age (like fifteen) and the ones who live now are healthy and happy, no, I don’t think this diet is killing them
:D
Oh, yeah…I don’t give anything to kittens yet…hope to hear few more opinions before I do :)

manx kittens!!!!!!?

my cat bread with a manx cat(manx cats are tailess)and ended up having 3 tailess kittens, they were born may 2nd and are ready to be given away,we are keeping one but we have 2 that we are giving away, one of them had worms as most kittens do so we took him to the vet and the vet said that manx kittens have "different" insides so it is not good for them to eat hard food. that means they will probably be on soft food for the rest of their lives…also one of the kittens(the one that had worms) her stomach is still hard which is a side effect of worms and she has trouble going to the bathroom, sometimes for her,#2 is very painful. would anyone like this kitten or the other one that we are giving away? the other one is a tiger cat and the one with the weird stomach,since the trip to the vet has been getting better,is black and white,they are adorable kittens but does anyone want the responsibility of taking care of these kittens?if there are anymore questions i will add more details later
to the second answer, we have already scheduled the mother to be fixed and yes they do have a different anatomy, unless you want to bring that argument up with my vet, which i invite you to do…be my guest
