Cooking with kids over Christmas

November 25, 2011 by Katie Bryson

tramping through the snow

Get out of the cold and into the kitchen!

The Christmas holidays are zooming towards us – and once school is out you’ll be needing little projects to keep the kids busy in the run-up to the big day.

Trips to the numerous festive-themed events put on for kids at this time of year can really add up, so why not bundle your brood into a nice cosy kitchen and get cooking?

Whether it’s helping out with the dinner, making edible gifts or home-made tree decorations, there’s a gazillion things you can get them stuck into.

Head on over to read my feature on the Channel 4 Food website for loads of tips and advice on cooking with the nippers over the festive season. They also have some brilliant recipe ideas to get you started.

    we haver a tradition of home made sweet mince pies. kids do varying tasks dependant on age ( roll pastry, cut shapes, add filling, put on lids) its a right family affair and loved by all. We always make sure that we leave 1 out for Santa as well., he seems to like them

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
