Kids in the Kitchen
| November 8, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Carnival of Natural Parenting, Incidental Learning, Toddler Crafts |
When Ameli was 10 months old, I had a visit with a health visitor, who told me I had to put a stair gate up on the kitchen door, so that Ameli couldn’t be in the kitchen while I was cooking, because “the stove is hotâ€. I told her that didn’t make sense, as the… more
Pic Of The Week 38 – Yummy Curry
| September 28, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Pic Of The Week, Projects |
I’ve never been a curry fan. I’ve only ever once eaten food at an Indian restaurant. I just don’t like it. The same can be said for spicy things. I love Thai food, but not if it’s spicy. Black pepper is as hot as I go. Then I fell pregnant with Ameli and when I… more

This was one of those weeks where really, I need a gallery to show you all the lovely pictures. Instead, however, I’ve picked four out of the bunch to give you a taste. more
Foraging For Food – The Rules
| April 10, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Discovering Nature, Food, Foraging for Food, Incidental Learning |
Last year I became really interested in food foraging, or ‘Invisible Food‘ – food from plants most of us don’t even notice. We began attending Invisible Food Walks in London, which really opened my eyes to what there is around us – even in the very urban parts of the world. more

It’s Mother’s Day in the UK tomorrow, 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… more
Just Have to Share – Blueberry Pancakes/Flapjacks/Crumpets
| September 5, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Seasonal Cooking |
A while ago I shared my favourite flapjack/crumpet/pancake recipe with you. This one is based on the same recipe, but with an added twist I discovered while catching up on one of my favourite photography blogs. I don’t have Katie’s recipe, but thought I could figure it out for myself. These turned out fantastic. They… more
Just Have to Share – Fantastic Banana and Coconut Bread
| August 29, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food |
This is such an amazing recipe. The bread is beautifully moist and such a lovely flavour. It uses less eggs than other recipes I’ve tried, and the addition of the coconut is unusual but brilliant. It’s also really quick to mix together, and fills the house with a subtle and warming fragrance. more
Out the (Organic Food) Box – Beetroot and Chocolate Cake
| August 22, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food |
Continuing on from last week’s ode to beetroot, I want to share this fantastic cake with you. I know you might think I’ve gone mad, but the truth is, beetroot and chocolate are a fantastic mix. Especially beetroot and bitter dark chocolate. And what a great way to get such a healthy vegetable into your… more
Cellulite Busting Beetroot Pasta
| August 15, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Seasonal Cooking, Summer |
I feel really sorry for beetroot. As far as vegetables go, it really drew the short straw. A lot of it’s unpopularity is, I’m sure, owing to some genius with a funny hairstyle (in my mind, anyway) deciding to shove it in bottles and drown it in vinegar. So today, when most people think ‘beetroot’… more
Everything Salad

Everything salad can also be everything pasta. It is a quick and easy way of clearing out all those left over bits in the fridge and the vegetable bowl, while making a great, nutritious and filling meal. The key to a good ‘Everything Salad’ is colour and variety. An easy guide is to use the… more
Everything salad can also be everything pasta. It is a quick and easy way of clearing out all those left over bits in the fridge and the vegetable bowl, while making a great, nutritious and filling meal.
The key to a good ‘Everything Salad’ is colour and variety. An easy guide is to use the primary and secondary colours, and the five food groups:
Red, yellow and blue white and green and the grains, fruit and vegetables, dairy/proteins, meat and sugar/fats/oils. (You can use as many or as few of these as you wish)
