Now I know that there’s a lot of carroty recipes here, but the reason that I have added this is because I think that this is quite a nice base for most muffin recipes, and as such, becomes quite flexible. If you were to take this recipe and minus the sugar and juice, you can make this […]

This is a lovely and easy recipe for fishcakes. Not too fishy and a nice soft texture due to the mash, so ideal for very little ones too. A friend once made fishcakes when we went round for a kids tea one afternoon and to my surprise my fussy little fusspot wolfed them down.  I gave […]

By popular demand, I am posting the recipe of avocado chocolate mousse. This could not be easier. I used to make this when my children were quite small and it was usually demolished quickly. It’s a great recipe that has no call for raw eggs or added sugar. In the early days I used to make […]

So here’s the thing. My elder child loves chocolate. And she likes chocolate cake. So, I had a little think and came up with a plan. And it worked like a charm. Because with this recipe, the natural colour of chocolate hides the green of spinach. And hooray! I must admit that I did do […]

It’s not really macaroni cheese in the traditional sense. But that’s what my kids call it. In fact, you can use any type of pasta you like. Problem was that my kids would eat the old ‘mac n’cheese’ in a restaurant, but the minute I suggested pasta and cheese sauce at home, like the one in the restaurant, […]

My goodness. Its been over a year since I blogged. That’s embarrassing! So things have changed. Just a little! With the addition of a now weaning baby boy in the household, I have had to go back to the old drawing board, and once again, I am thrown into a world of sugar and salt […]

Hello hello I should really introduce myself. My name is Talia, I’m a full time mum living in North London, with my husband and two small people. Life is busy and often chaotic and I seem to spend most of my time on the go. I spent many years cultivating an interior design career, until […]
