Page 1 of 8 : 40 blogs Easy Berry Ice Cream 28/03/2013 12:27:00 Easy Berry Ice Cream This ingenious family recipe comes from Annabel Karmel's "You Can Cook" recipe book. While we've found that quite a lot of the recipes in the book need too much adult help, this one is brilliant. I like it because you don't need an ice cream machine, you don't have to keep opening the freezer every half an hour to scratch the ice crystals out and all that. You just make some berry flavoured ice, and some whipped cream, and mix ... A Bit Of A Rant On A Slight Segway 26/02/2013 11:08:00 A Slightly Off Topic Rant... but there's a point, I promise...

Call To Action - SOS School Food 30/11/2012 11:13:00 CALL TO ACTION - CAN YOU PLEASE SPEND 1-2 MINUTES TO HELP TO PROTECT SCHOOL FOOD? As you may know, Michael Gove asked the Dimblebys from Leon restaurant chain to draw up another school food plan. Whether you consider this a stalling tactic on his part or a valid process, we should still contribute. They can only use the information which is out there to format their plan, whether it is research evidence or us telling them our opinions. We can't complain about the outcome if we don't... Garden Crafts For Children by Dawn Isaac 20/11/2012 13:23:00 Garden Crafts For Children by Dawn Isaac I hope you won't mind me mentioning Chr***mas when it's still only November, but I have a great recommendation for a stocking filler for a child in your life. I'm not on some kind of commission or something(!) I just genuinely think it is a lovely book. Garden Crafts For Children is a fab book by Dawn Isaac, who is a garden designer and writer of the lovely kids gardening blog Little Green Fingers.... Page 1 of 8 : 40 blogs
