Dot and some of her friends are hoping to create a school magazine and unsurprisingly Dot will be writing the book review page and the cooking page so the other weekend she decided to test some recipes with her little helpers while I took the photos.
The starter was "Tomato and Mozarella Bruschetta"
And the main course, which I forgot to photograph "in process" as it wasn't going in the magazine was Tortellini bake with mediterranean vegetable sauce (including the first courgettes from the allotment!!)
And pudding had to be "Eton Mess" because of all the strawberries we are getting from the allotment and this is where the little helpers really came in to their own:
The mix may have been stirred a little too vigourously but it still tasted delicious! Next time we'll aim to have bigger pieces of meringue though!
And just to finish the children helped make the first batch of jam too!
We've made a further two batches in the last week and there is still more to be made - so it's a shame I've run out of jam jars.
At least there was no green pond slime this time!
