Recipes

These recipes are great for kids who want to do some cooking with a watchful eye over them or anyone who wants to prepare a quick and easy meal. Most recipes can be ready within just an hour (with the exception of breads and some pastries) and contain an element to them where you can be creative, which is what we’re all about!

Lemon Drizzle Cake

Now I have to admit, I got this recipe from my Leiths ‘How to Cook’ book because I have made it many times before and couldn’t possibly top it! The ingredients are the same but the method is completely different as I find this way a lot easier for children. I’d say […]

Quiche Lorraine

I was never a big fan of quiche as a child, and I get a lot of children in my classes telling me that they don’t like quiche either.. but after the process of making a quiche from scratch, it then tastes AMAZING.. trust me!

Poppy Seed Plait

Try making your classic white bread loaf into something a bit more fun and create a show stopper! Spritz it up with some poppy seeds and serve it proudly!

Tarka Dhal

During the time I spent in Indian, I must have eaten Dhal at least once a day and I loved it! Make some chapattis to go with it and enjoy eating with your hands!

Cheese Twists

It doesn’t matter what age you are – everybody can enjoy a good cheese twist! They’re great fun to make and eat! I like to add poppy seeds to make them look a bit snazzy if I’m serving them to adults – you can just sprinkle them on top before […]

Chocolate Calzone

I’d never had a chocolate calzone before but I must have dreamt about one and I’m glad I did! I made my own chocolate spread to go in the centre of my calzones but you can use your favourite spreads if you’d prefer – however, this homemade one is VERY good! Decorate […]

Individual Key Lime Pies

If you haven’t tried Key Lime Pie before then you are missing out.. and now is the PERFECT opportunity! This recipe is so simple, they can be made and eaten within 45 minutes easily! I buy really cool cardboard cake cases from Home Bargains to spritz them up a little […]

Individual Cherry Pies

When I visited the US a couple of years ago, everywhere I went I was asked if I had tried their famous Cherry Pie – so of course I had to try it… and then make some when I got home. These mini ones are great portion sizes and they […]

Coleslaw

Coleslaw is super easy to make and is perfect for practicing your knife skills! I add a bit of chilli powder to give it a little kick – but that’s optional.
