One of the great things about getting your kids in the kitchen is the wonderful flavours and recipes it opens up to them. I find that both my boys are much more adventurous if they have helped cook the food and this is one of the main reasons I love cooking with kids.
Welcome back to our A-Z ingredients cooking with kids series. We are currently at H is for honey.

We are at F is for Flour in our A- Z of ingredients cooking with kids series. We could have made many things, but with the Easter holidays and spring in the air we decided to make some simple M&M cookies.

The secret is to cook a few at a time in a really hot oil, that way the outside crisps and prevents the inside absorbing oil.
