Often when we head to the kitchen with our children, it’s to do some baking but, if you expand the activity beyond baking and focus instead on savoury dishes, it’s a chance for them to learn about, explore and become comfortable around the foods you’re presenting to them at mealtimes. 

One of my favourite meals to make with my children is fishcakes. There is so much that they can easily get stuck into; scooping out and mashing potatoes, flaking fish, grinding, sprinkling mixing, forming, breadcrumbing…

They’re delicious too!
