Little Cooks – Fruit Smoothie Recipe
| April 22, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Cooking, Food, Kids in the Kitchen |
I really like the Little Cooks recipes, because they’re generally pretty simple, and not too unhealthy either. I was quite excited by the Strawberry Sundae recipe as I thought it would be nice and healthy and fun to make. Unfortunately it really wasn’t and I can’t say we’ll be in a hurry to make it…
Little Cooks Collection – Butterfly Cheese Biscuits Recipe
| April 8, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Kids in the Kitchen |
We’ve taken a bit of a break from baking, since our labour cake and having a baby and all that, but we’re back, and we’ve got plenty of catching up to do as our Dora The Explorer Little Cooks Collection mags are up to issue 7 already! None the less, here’s the recipe as we…

Little Cooks – Banana Muffins
| March 11, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Kids in the Kitchen |
I absolutely love baking and cooking with Ameli. It’s something we do regularly enough, and it’s fun for both of us, most of the time. While I don’t tend to use ‘dumbed down’ recipes specifically on her behalf, it is sometimes easier if I’m just looking for an afternoon activity for us to use a…
Fun Mother’s Day Recipes
| February 26, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Kids in the Kitchen, Seasonal Cooking |
It’s Mother’s Day in the UK soon, and there’s little nicer than waking up to breakfast in bed. So, my advice, Mamas, is tell dads or older children to glance over here for some healthy, simple, child-friendly recipes brought to you by the HGCA. These recipes are so simple, children could make them (with supervision…
I Can Cook’s Spiced Fun Buns Recipe (Adapted)
| February 12, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under 2 - 3 years, By Age, Cooking, Food, Home Education, Kids in the Kitchen |
Ameli loves BBC’s I Can Cook. In fact she actually giggles with glee when we put it on TV for her, and she sits, absolutely mesmerised by Katie, the host. I decided to capitalise on that, since we do a lot of cooking together, and actually use it as a foundation for an afternoon’s activities.
Foraging For Food: Crystalized Lavender
| May 29, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Kids in the Kitchen, Spring, Summer |
We moved into a new house this week, and when I say it’s been mayhem and madness, I’m not joking. I’ve spent five days unpacking boxes, and it feels like I’ve barely made a dent. I’m sure it’ll all come together in one smooth motion but till then, I’ve had little to no time for…
Just Have to Share – Breakfast Flapjacks / Crumpets / Pancakes
| July 11, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Kids in the Kitchen |
Before I can even tell you about this recipe, I have to clarify terminology. I am from South Africa. In the children’s cookbook that I have had for years upon years, these are called flapjacks. In the UK, flapjacks are something totally different, and these are more likely to be called crumpets. In the US,…
Kid Friendly Food – Jelly Pinwheels
| May 2, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Kids in the Kitchen, Seasonal Cooking, Spring, Summer |
I have no idea where this recipe originally came from, but I’ve had it and this picture saved on my computer for a long time. It is a really simple recipe, and kids especially love it. As does my jelly (jello in the States) loving father – in – law. It always elicits a response…
Just Have to Share – Chocolate Spoons for Coffee or Chocolate Milk
| April 4, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Kids in the Kitchen, Seasonal Cooking |
I love these super simple chocolate spoons. They are a lovely final ‘ooohhh’ at the table after a dinner party, and make a luxurious hot chocolate when added to hot milk. You can also melt the chocolate and pour in to molds with a swivel stick in the centre if you have suitable supplies.
