However, some of the labelling that is required by law can be a bit disconcerting and even food producers are sometimes uncertain exactly how they should be labelling certain…
Oh that doughy goodness that everyone loves. The rise, the fall, the crust, the soft interior. It is week three of my Great British Bake Off Bakealong and the above description can mean only one thing. Yes. My nemesis in terms of Bake Off is here but I am determined to get past it this…
A few weeks ago, we were sent a beautiful tray of vegetables, toys and other feeding equipment with a challenge. I love a good challenge so we embarked on a 14 day #VegForVictory challenge where G had to try a vegetable each day for a fortnight. At 18 months old, he has trued quite a…
