This morning I have been on ‘home duty’, Jeff has gone back to school to do some prep for next week, so I have been in charge of the children and this morning I wanted to give them my undivided attention. I asked them what they wanted to do – Sam “nothing”, Sophie “cooking.”

So with a fruit bowl over flowing with over ripe bananas, it was decided that Banana Loaf would be a good choice.
Sophie loves to cook, well to be honest, when in the mood both children do.
I do, when I have time.
I don’t enjoy the ‘it’s 5.00pm – what shall we have for tea cooking’ but I do enjoy a morning in the kitchen with no time pressure.

Whilst it was in the oven, Sophie started perusing my old cookbooks for her next cooking session.
We used a Delia recipe - always works -and a hour later, we had not one but 2 yummy Banana Loaves

Sophie's verdict - smiles, so all good.

My verdict - well the proof is in the eating - delicious!
