Cookery birthday parties

Are you looking for something different for a childs' birthday party?

Why not book a cookery birthday party, I work with children from 2 years upwards and the party can either be in your own home or another venue of your choice.

Future cookery activity sessions

Sorry we are not running cookery sessions in the May half term holiday, however we are planning sessions for the summer break, so look out for sessions over the summer.

For information check the website at http://www.readytocookuk.co.uk
where there are details of how to make contact.

Easter chocolate cookies

We had a great time during the cookery activities making chocolate cookies, so here is the recipe so you can make them again and again.

Chocolate and oat cookies, makes 20
100g chocolate chips
125g soft margarine or butter
125g caster sugar
1 egg beaten
125g self raising flour
1 tblsp cocoa powder
50g porridge oats

pre heat the oven to 180c or Gas 4

• cover a baking sheet with baking parchment
• put the margarine and sugar in a bowl and cream together
• add the egg, flour. cocoa powder and oats and mix together
• then add the chocolate chips
• scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving a psace between each one to allow them to spread, don't worry if they merge, you can cut them apart.
• bake the cookies for 10 to 13 minutes until they are lightly browned
• leave to harden on the baking sheet and then place on a cooling rack to completely cool
• best eaten on the day but they can be kept in a tin but they are difficult to resist

Here is a slightly blurred photo of what they look like. Have fun making them again and have a good Easter.

New Year and new sessions

Thank you to all those children that came to the Christmas cookery sessions in Scarborough and Ryedale, I hope that you enjoyed eating your muffins and sausage rolls, many didn't even make it out of the activity before they were devoured.

I am planning sessions for the February half term holiday and will post dates as soon as they are confirmed, I hope to run a session in Whitby too this time.

I am doing some work with Norton Children's Centre during January and February, called Teeny Tasters, working with parents and young children together, for more information contact Norton Children's Centre direct on 0845 0349586.

Finally if anyone is interested in having a different theme for their child's birthday party, how about booking a cookery party, email me if you would like more information.
