Family Recipes
It can be hard to think of interesting new family recipes to try out -
and harder still to find the time to go looking for them!
Activity Village provides a growing collection of tried and
tested family recipes - everything from breakfast through to lunch, tea and
dinner - as well as craft recipes to make with your kids. And of course many of
these family recipes are perfect for cooking with your children, or for older
children to attempt on their own!
A note on measurements:
The British tend to use weights of solid ingredients, either imperial (pounds
and ounces) or metric (grams, kilograms), whilst the Americas use cups.
Where possible we give both measurements. In most recipes the first measurement
is that given in the original recipe, and the one in brackets is the conversion.
If at all possible, use the first measurement given, as this will be ‘tried and
tested’. And remember not to mix and match from one to the other!
