This week the Petits Chefs had a flying visit from the fabulous Jenifer Tyler Lee who was in town to promote her new book Half the Sugar All the Love. Sidenote: we love Jennifer’s previous book, 52 New Foods (cooking club worked through it in 2014!) “What’s this about half the sugar?” I hear you […]

Tuedays with Dorie (Baking Chez Moi): Chunky Chocolate Fruit-and-Nut Bars
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi was an easy one – not really much of a “recipe” and able to be customised according to your tastes/ what you have on hand. My kinda recipe! This is basically dried fruits and nuts stuck together with melted chocolate – yup, kinda reminiscent of […]
Cook the Book Fridays: Pasta with Cabbage, Winter Squash and Walnuts from Everyday Dorie

Dorie says: I guess you could call these rice cakes, but you’d be shortchanging them — no rice […]
Les Petits Chefs make Jamie Oliver’s Cauliflower Tikka Masala from Jamie’s VEG
This week the Petits Chefs made Jamie Oliver’s Cauliflower Tikka Masala from his latest book, Veg (or “Ultimate Veg” in the US/ Canada). It’s not a complicated recipe but it does have a lot of steps which is important when you’re choosing a recipe to make with 10 boys! Paneer and cauliflower are chopped into […]
