Packed with suggestions for new twists on classic recipes, there is plenty to choose from, whether indulging in a special treat or an old favourite. She is the author of The Five O’ Clock Apron and lives in Bristol with her three daughters, who are the willing testers for all her recipes. If you get them tasting spices and smelling herbs, that's really exciting for children, they just need to be engaged with food. I am determined that when my children leave home, we will have spend more hours together eating, talking, and laughing around the kitchen table than on my sofa. It's divided into timescale sections: quick lunches and suppers that take around 10 minutes, 20 minute reliable recipes, savvy family stalwarts that take 40 minutes at most, and unhurried and imaginative recipes that take between 45 minutes and an hour.

That's fine, but I don't let her do it every day, and I don't let her say she doesn't like vegetables because I'm a chef and I make them taste nice! On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 5mm and cut into rectangular shapes (each measuring approximately 7 x 4cm), using a knife. It’s fab share with you an easy peasy recipe from the National Trust Family Cookbook by Claire Thomson.

Tell us why you liked or disliked the book; using examples and comparisons is a great way to do this.From yogurt and cardamom chicken wraps, pea and halloumi fritters, Vietnamese noodle salad, quick Sicilian fish stew, smashed tomato toast and apricot and almond muffins, Claire provides alternative twists and substitutes so you can suit the ingredients to your family’s tastes and what you have in the cupboard. I cooked a North African-style dhal for 60 eight- and nine-year-olds and one child said he didn't want to eat it. The National Trust Family Cookbook is Claire’s new book and it’s full of beautiful and delicious family dishes with easy to follow recipes. Claire suggests alternative twists and substitutes so you can suit the ingredients to your family’s tastes and what you have in the cupboard – and suggests ways that the kids can get involved in the cooking. The chapters are divided into different time frames with recipes that take just a few minutes to more slow and relaxed cooking sessions.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a moderate heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Now 9 years into motherhood and enthusiastic about finding great products and helpful solutions for busy families to make life more fun and easier too.Entry to this competition confirms that participants have read, understood and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. The photography is beautiful too and I love that there’s a mix of food photography and photos of the actual family cooking and kids enjoying the finished result. The recipes are well explained, and I like the idea of the section of quick-fire food made in minutes, plus another section of meals that can be prepared earlier in the day, then ready for cooking and serving at dinner time. Or, if your family is anything like mine, you can fry as many fritters as will fit in the pan at a time, immediately hurling them onto the gobbled-and-wanting-more plates.
