Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Happy weekend eeryone, I have started a cooking club after school with my rec, last week we made fruit scones. Anybody got some lovely reicpes i could use. The club is for an hour from 3.30-4.30. x x x
Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Fairy cakes: 6oz marg 6oz sugar 3 eggs 6oz s.r. flour 1oz cocoa milk - about 1 fl oz cook in bun cases for about 10-15mins Other ideas: Chocolate crispy cakes flapjack cookies mini pizzas (use ready-made bases) sausage rolls (use sausage meat and ready made pastry)
Guest jenpercy Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Re sausage meat. I used to run a Woodcraft group with a doctor. He was rally concerned about the use of sausage meat with young children as there is a risk of picking up nasties if they lick fingers, or don't wash hands afterwards VERY well. you could use Granose vegetarian sausagemeat. Anyone remember good old Sosmix. We do pizza on scone base so we can mix that ourselves. Cheese scones, cheese straws, vege soup, coleslaw, fruit kebabs, various salads. we don't do flapjacks as there isn't much for children to do unless you let them melt. We have been known to make burgers from scratch (although that was older children.)
Cait Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 mars bar cake!!! Yummmmmmm Just melt mars bars gently and stir in rice krispies, press into a baking tray and leave to cool, spread melted choc on the top if you want. Cut into squares SIMPLES!!!!! Or pizzas, buy pizza bases and do you own thing, either big ones or use cutters to cut small individual ones (then find some ducks to feed the scraps to )
Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Ah - didn't know that about sausage meat. Have to say I haven't ever used it with children - I just like making them for myself and they are really easy which is why I suggested it!
sam2368 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 how about breadsticks, cheese straws, basic biscuits. Our children loved the muffin pizzas, very quick to cook after preparation so would fit within your hour.
Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 oh mars bar cake yum, i remember my teacher used to make it for us at secondary school! im drooling slightly now. Pizzasz are a fab idea! im going to do that and fairy buns next week x thanks you every body x

nickylear Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Hi I have two recipe booklets that I have made, both the 20 recipes in that I've made with groups of reception children in our after school cookery club. I've tried to upload them but it says it's failed. Maybe you can't add publisher files to the forum? (if anyone can tell me how to resolve this I will try to add them on) If anyone would like to PM me I'd be happy to send you them via email. Thanks Nicky.
Guest Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 hi we made gingerbread men biscuits last week an they only take 8 minutes to cook. the recipe we used was off sparklebox really easy and the children followed the instructions using the pictures off sparklebox kate
HappyMaz Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 For newer members or those who are unaware of the concerns over the Sparklebox website, you can see Steve's post here. Maz
Guest Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Have you had a look on the cbeebies I can cook website?

Guest Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 just to say i have completely stopped using sparklebox but this was a recipe i got from it over a year ago and it is a good and simple recipe to follow for 3 year olds kate
HappyMaz Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Hi kate Everyone has to make their own decisions about whether to continue to use Sparklebox resources in the light of what we now know. Whenever anyone mentions sparklebox I provide the link again to Steve's post just so that all members can access this information, not to make any comment on the person who mentioned the Sparklebox resources. Sorry if you felt a bit 'got at'! Maz
SueFinanceManager Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Hi We were lucky enough to have a food writer as one of our mums at the nursery I worked at and she specialised in books for cooking with children. The recipes were very well tested with small children and so if you feel like investing in a cook book her books would be a good bet. Here is her website and from the from page you can see a list of all of her books. Hope this helps Sue
Guest Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Hi Try the Veggie muffins from the MYDADDYCOOKS website here they are really easy and quick to make and a great way to encourage veggies into the diet. Underneath the video and written recipe, people leave feedback and they have offered alternative fillings which have been successful
HappyMaz Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Try the Veggie muffins from the MYDADDYCOOKS website Love it! Archie makes a good kitchen assistant! Maz
Guest Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Love it! Archie makes a good kitchen assistant! Maz He's soooo cute isn't he!! Love the way daddy Nick keeps his cool while Archie 'helps'
Guest Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I was a bit alarmed at Archie handling raw chicken though..... not sure about that bit but otherwise a fab site. When I peeked just now they've uploaded a no-bake chocolate tiffin. That would be great for after school club, YUM :oP
Guest Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 we did pizza's last week and they wentdown a treat, i was just sad i did not have room for one of my own on the tray haha x
SueFinanceManager Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 When I peeked just now they've uploaded a no-bake chocolate tiffin. That would be great for after school club, YUM :oP I watched this, it is hilarious....Archie is munching a slab of chocolate for most of it

All the recipes are tried and tested, & loved by staff & pupils. Hope you like it Nicky XXX Hassell_Cookery_Club_V2_pdf.pdf
Steve Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Hmm - I thought I'd fixed the publisher problem some time ago. Anyway, I think I've fixed it now! Publication1.pub

nickylear Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) For the third cookery club booklet I used smilebox, I'm not sure if it will work but I'll add them too. Again, all of the recipes were a hit. Nicky X Edited May 4, 2010 by nickylear
