Recipes
This month we have a hot meal and sweet snack recipe to share with you! Our creamy chicken carbonara can be modified by using different vegetables that children prefer - for example, adding in some pureed pumpkin can make the sauce thicker and sweeter. This simple muesli bar recipe is a great afternoon tea snack, or fantastic to make for a cooking experience with children.
