Many years ago, long before I became a father, I spent a little time backpacking in Latin America. During this time, I was introduced to the empanda.
I was recently chatting to a mum I know about some activities I had planned with Helen and Izzy. When I explained I was going to do some baking with them, she called me an “Earth Mother”.
With the heat having turned deliciously savage, I know I’m not the only parent dealing with kids who are perpetually hot and bothered. I have a suggestion that will: cool your kids down, give them a treat and help get them closer to eating five a day. The suggestion? A homemade, fresh fruit ice lolly.
My wife asked me a loaded question the other day. She said: “Are we going to have a barbecue this summer?”
Congratulations, it is officially Pie Week! To mark the occasion, I have made one of my signature dishes: Beef Wellington.
