Since we have moved over to Munich, Hannah has been ‘helping’ in the kitchen on a regular basis. The kitchen in our new house has a very deep work surface so that Hannah is able to sit up on the side quite safely and offer her assistance!

I have to say that its had a really positive impact on the foods that Hannah will try. As you all know, Hannah has always had a healthy appetite, but she is now eating what we eat all of the time which includes curries, sauerkraut and various other wierd and wonderful favourites. She loves to try all of the ingredients while I’m preparing them so where as she wouldn’t eat raw pepper if it was on her plate, she can’t get enough of it if she’s ‘helping’ mummy in the kitchen!

I do have to say though that our favourite recipe to make and to sample along the way is the chocolate cake that Hannah is enjoying in the photo!
