Well, technically he has made lots of omelettes now (perfecting his technique) and even made omelettes for my neighbour and her children whilst over there for a childcare swap. 

Harvey has been reluctant to be in the kitchen much since his sister came along. She’s in there with me a lot so he doesn’t want to be. He’s also keen to be creative and do his own thing rather than follow instructions from me or a recipe, which leads to short tempers from both of us. But he’s 10 now and I’m keen to get him cooking more regularly to hone his skills.

So, I’ve set him a challenge – to get cooking more often so that he can cook a meal for us all each week, once he turns 11. And he has started by making omelettes at every opportunity!
