Chef Jeffers from Forestside Cookery School is teaching his budding little chefs how to make chilli non carne and baked potato today.

Stephano isn’t really a fan of our vegetarian days…but he did a little happy dance when we promised him more red velvet cake and ice cream for dessert! Plus he loves baked potato so it was full steam ahead today for Little Miss Nine.

Day one of cookery camp and Little Miss Nine is raring to go! Motivation levels on a scale of 1 to 10? Definitely 10. So far so good. For the next five days Little Miss Nine will be cooking under the instructions of Chef Jeffers from Forestside Cookery School – by video link.

Stephano has a week off work, so he’ll be here to join in the fun (and the supervising).

To get the fun going he ‘reluctantly’ put on an apron and a chef’s hat. Little Miss Nine made it clear that this was her gig and not his. Off with that hat Stephano!
