Easy CookIssue 96的目錄

One of the joys of getting home from work is sitting down with my three kids and having dinner together. Right now, wraps are their food of choice. With their mix ‘n’ match, build ‘n’ share elements, they’re brilliant for letting the kids take charge of their mealtimes, especially if you’ve got them involved in putting the ingredients together in the first place (see recipe, right). Family mealtimes are at the heart of what Easy Cook’s all about, and you’ll find inspiration in abundance in this month’s issue, from effortless slow-cooker stunners (p52) to John Whaite’s five-ingredient wonder dinners (p22). And to keep the kids even happier, check out our easy ideas for a spooky Halloween party and some fire-cracking recipes to help Bonfire Night go off with a bang.…
