introduction (#ulink_f4df74c8-e3a2-5230-af37-23268c2a9af7)


This year we celebrated Megan’s ninth birthday and, like many parents, Gordon and I couldn’t help wondering how so much time could feel like so little. Even our youngest, Tilly, is five now and she’s meant to be the baby of the family!

With the children getting older, I’ve noticed that what I cook for them has become more grown up too. Although I still add very little salt to my cooking and hold back on hot spices, what I cook the children for tea will nearly always work later as dinner for Gordon and me. This is why I’ve tried to make the recipes in Real Family Food as tempting for adults as they are for children. It also has the added bonus of only having to think about one dinner in the evenings, not two (I call it convenience, not laziness!).

When you think about it, ultimately we only need to eat to refuel and keep ourselves going throughout the day. Even so, I believe that food can play another, almost more important, part in our lives. It can bring us together, slow us down and let us catch up with each other as we rush through the week. Some of the happiest moments of my life have been around the table sharing good food, and the times I treasure most with my family are when we are all together doing just that. This must be why I associate certain foods and dishes with different people and places. For example, blueberry muffins always make me think of my sister as she’s so addicted to them, calamari bring back memories of baking hot holidays in the south of France, and the smell of Moroccan lamb cooking takes me right back to Sunday mornings in the kitchen with my mum. It’s memories like these that make me smile. It’s a bit like a song making you think of someone. I’m willing to bet that different foods conjure up different memories for you too.

Food brings people together, especially families. The more we can get together around the table and share each other’s company, the closer and more strongly knit we can become – even on the days when nobody can agree on anything!

With this in mind, I’ve tried to organize the recipes in this book around everyday social occasions – from hurried weekday breakfasts and leisurely family get-togethers to picnics in parks and casual lunches with friends.

For example, ‘Breakfasts and Brunches’ has some very quick and easy ideas to put together during the week, as well as other more leisurely brunch options for lazy Saturday or Sunday mornings when you can’t be bothered to get out of your pyjamas. Similarly, ‘Food in a Flash’ is designed for frantic evenings when everybody is piling through the door and clamouring for dinner, your attention and general sanity. By contrast, ‘Laid-back Suppers’ is for those evenings when you have a little more time on your hands. Most of these take slightly more time to prepare, but once they’re in the oven you can usually leave them to take care of themselves.

Probably my favourite section is ‘Picnics and Treats’. My kids like nothing more than eating outside, and I’m pretty sure that some of their best food memories must be tied up in outdoor parties with family and friends.

Vegetables are arguably not an event in themselves, but I know that sometimes they can feel like one! Children have a tendency to dig in their heels over allowing one or two peas to fall on their plates, let alone finishing them up. My lot still need encouragement when it comes to eating their greens, but I’ve always tried to see it as a positive challenge and, with a bit of trial and error, I’ve found ways to make them think that vegetables are okay after all. Hopefully, they’ll go down well with your family too.

Whilst we’re on the subject of experimentation, the section of recipes called ‘Try Something Different’ is designed to let you and your family do just that. Again, it’s not, strictly speaking, organized around an occasion, but it’s designed to encourage your children to enjoy different food flavours so that if you go out for dinner, either to different styles of restaurant or abroad on holiday, they’re not fazed by what arrives on their plates.

For the days when you’ve got the in-laws descending on you in droves, the recipes in ‘Big Family Lunches’ should be able to help you stay calm amidst the general chaos. Most of these can be prepared in advance and then left in the oven or pot to cook, so you should end up having plenty of time to get ready yourself. Serve these with one or two of the vegetable side dishes in ‘Vegetable Temptations’ and follow up with one of the ‘Devilish Desserts’ and you can’t fail to impress!

Finally, you may notice that I’ve tended not to recommend what you should eat with what, for example which side dishes should be eaten with which main courses, or which desserts works best with which lunches (unless I have a real favourite). I’ve done this deliberately as I believe you should be able to eat anything you like in whatever combination you like. I think we’ve become too worried about doing everything right and getting everything officially perfect. Life’s too short! We need to relax and trust our instincts more. I think this is how we can learn the most about food and cooking, and it’s certainly how I learnt. Besides, if I worried the whole time about being perfect, then Gordon would never get fed at all!

So trust yourself, relax and enjoy bringing your family together again and again with simple, satisfying food. In years to come they’ll have all sorts of amazing memories tied up with the food you cooked and the times you shared together.
















Breakfasts and Brunches (#ulink_396b8f34-6094-5946-b7c3-3f408b923c3a)


Weekdays always go past in a blur. If I’m not rushing out the door to get the kids to school on time, I’m trying to figure out where I’m meant to be next. By the time it gets to the weekend, there is nothing I like more than a long lazy morning.

The children have finally got the hang of lie-ins, so when we eventually get downstairs (still in our pyjamas of course) we’re all ready for a hearty breakfast. These are the mornings I treasure the most with my family.

yoghurt and berry crunch (#ulink_82b2d4be-3861-50e5-85cb-39f6065ecec2)


I make these in little glass tumblers from Ikea as they tend to bounce when dropped and are fabulously childproof!

370g/13oz frozen berries

1 tbsp brown sugar

10 digestive biscuits

370g/13oz Greek yoghurt

1 Place the berries in a small saucepan with the sugar and cook over a low heat until they become a soft, pulpy mess. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

2 Crush the digestive biscuits with the back of a spoon.

3 Place a 1cm/½ inch layer of crushed digestives into the bottom of each glass. Spoon 1cm/½ inch of the Greek yoghurt on top, followed by 1cm/½ inch of the fruit. Repeat this so you have 6 layers in total (2 of each). Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.

Makes: 4 × 100ml/4fl oz tumblers

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 10–15 minutes

TIP




To save time, cook the berries the day before you need them.




porridge with almond-roasted peaches (#ulink_3e52e13c-dc4b-58e8-b83c-8f72f1abd548)


This is really easy to make before school while the children are getting dressed. Perfect for a winter morning pick-me-up.

25g/1oz butter

4 peaches, halved, stones removed

25g/1oz soft brown sugar

75g/3oz flaked almonds

100g/4oz porridge oats

600ml/1 pint whole milk

300ml/11fl oz water

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/GM4.

2 Generously butter a small ovenproof dish and arrange the peaches in it, cut side uppermost. It should be quite a snug fit, with the peaches bumping up against each other. Place in the oven and set the timer for 7 minutes.

3 Mix together the soft brown sugar and flaked almonds and put to one side.

4 Put the oats, milk and water into a medium-sized saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Turn down the heat and simmer for about 7 minutes until the porridge is thick and creamy.

5 When the oven timer beeps, sprinkle the peaches with the almonds and sugar and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.

6 Divide the porridge between 4 bowls and arrange 2 peach halves on top of each. Spoon over the syrupy almonds and serve immediately.

Serves: 4 children

Prep time: 20 minutes, depending on ripeness of peaches

Cooking time: 17 minutes

TIPS




Nectarines and apricots work well too.




You can soak the oats overnight in milk or fruit juice to save time in the morning.




oat and blueberry muffins (#ulink_1cceebcd-7399-5b39-9974-847b491401b9)


Blueberry muffins have always been a favourite treat for breakfast in my house, and my sister is seriously addicted to them, as are her two children. I usually have to bulk-bake when I make these …
