I’ve been writing a new column for Times Online this past couple of weeks and failed to indulge myself by mentioning it here - so now I am!

Kids In The Kitchen will be a weekly column which I hope you all enjoy. The title says it all - it’s all about cooking with the kids - and it’s a subject that has been close to my heart in the time I have been writing this Blog.

This week is a take on a kedgeree. The recipe is below but please check out the article at The Times and feel free to comment over there if not here.
