School holidays combined with iffy weather can be a challenge but it is a great time to find the patience and enthusiasm to let the kids loose in the kitchen. Children need to learn about cooking – even if there is a huge mess afterwards!
Mine had the fun of cooking on Good Morning for the last two Mondays. With me last week and Simon Holst this week.
