Licking the spoon

I must admit, I’ve always had preconceived ideas about children. One of the big ones was that every child loves to help cook, and that the part they love the most is licking the spoon. So you can imagine my shock and surprise when I bred a child who refused to taste any cakes, slices or anything else that we might be baking before it was cooked. Veggies before dinner, yes, baking no! Bizarre!

This week, we finally overcame it! We were making a very, very simple chocolate brownie recipe and all I had to do to tempt him was to tell him that before it cooked, it tasted like chocolate icing. Well, that was it… he is converted… see for yourself
