I have been told by Miss very capable 5.5 (going to 10) to go on the internet and find her some recipes that she can do Quote " All by myself MUM!" Unquote.
So here I am asking. If anyone can help Miss 5.5 and I with some recipes that would be much appreciated.

Alison Holst Citrus slice.No hot ovens etc. Just melting the butter in micro, so wont scare the **** out of you.Also dessert jelly and mixed berries.There are some good childrens cookbooks out there.So far we only have two but they are:Cooking for Girls, distributed by DK and The Silver Spoon for Children by Phaidon.My girl also got a set from the warehouse for baking that had a tin, measure spoons and a baking book.Real good price.

Last but not least what about the good old fashionedEDMONDS.
