We had a fantastic family cooking session last month, making savoury vegetable muffins together! The kids did a brilliant job following the recipe and even tasted some veggies they wouldn’t normally try.

Thanks to all those who joined us!

Last Saturday, The Food Hub - All Things Food - was "all about" floury hands & happy faces in our family cooking session!

Children had a brilliant time getting messy, using their hands to mix and shape their very own rock buns, the results were enjoyed by everyone – amazing. 🍰👩‍🍳
