My Little Sous-Chef! Review: Focaccia Bread

With the weather turning decidedly colder, we've decided to turn the heating on. We will now be spending more time indoors than out.

On Wednesday hubby had the day off and after the weekly shop we all decided to stay close to home. The geocache trails are harder to come by now we've done so many so instead of travelling a fair distance we stayed at home and did something a little different cooking with the eldest.

My Little Sous-Chef had recently been in contact with us and I thought it was a great opportunity for the eldest to learn a lifetime skill. The company have created a couple of cookbooks i.e.. one for the adults and the other one for children, so that they can work in tandem with one another to create various recipes. Our eldest hasn't learnt to read just yet but actions speak louder than words right so the fact that she couldn't read the children’s edition didn't dampen her experience of making Foccacia Bread with her Daddy. In fact she enjoyed the experience so much and was keen to taste it afterwards that I'm hoping she will long continue being his Sous Chef.

The recipe saw them roughly measuring out the ingredients, cutting the rosemary growing outside our house and mixing it all together before putting it in the oven. The great thing about the adult copy is that the children’s activities are listed in it too so we kept just that copy open on the laptop as they cooked. The Foccacia Bread recipe looked so simple to create and unlike a lot of bread didn't contain any sugar and had minimal salt therefore making it ideal for children and adults alike.
