Cooking and baking is a great way to develop an essential life skill as well as spend quality family time together. My children love baking with me especially my son as he wants to enter Bake Off Junior when he is old enough. Working in the kitchen can be stressful at times but I find that preparation is key and also having the right tools for the job too. Some of the regular tools in the kitchen are too cumbersome and heavy for children to handle.
Toy company Casdon has teamed up with baby food expert and cookery book writer Annabel Karmel to create a range of cooking tools that work as normal kitchen tools. These high quality Casdon implements are all approved by Annabel who has written special recipes that are easy for young children to make. The range includes baking sets with cake moulds, baking accessories, mixing bowls and decoration tools.
Asian Fish Parcel with McCain is an Asian Fusion dish that we love eating as a family. Since young, I have always loved the Asian spice flavour but my husband and children were born in the UK and they tend to prefer milder flavours with potatoes being a regular staple. Hence I am serving this Asian meal with western sides!
I’m sure many of you will know Countdown which is one of the longest-running and most iconic quiz shows on British television.

Nevertheless, this show is now one of my son’s favourite programmes after they were encourage to watch it at home by school.
Last week, I came across this hilarious children’s game Seagull Splat at the Toy Fair 2016 and I know this is going to be a big hit in our house.
