A Nutty Mom

As a variation of the old saying goes, families that cook together eat together. Cooking as a family is a great way to spend time together and try out recipes that will become family favourites.

The folks at Anchor have put their heads together to come up with a reward scheme that allows families to save codes from packs of Anchor butter, which can be used to redeem kitchen utensils including wooden spoons, cake tins, tea towels, cupcake cases, aprons and butter dishes. The prefect accessories for baking nights in with the whole family.

The Anchor Rewards Club is open to everybody. Simply collect the codes from packets of Anchor Butter, Anchor Spreadable or Anchor Lighter Spreadable and you could be on your way to collecting a host of exciting rewards. Choose gifts from as little as 20 points.

These lovely collectables will come in handy for cooking everything from curries to cupcakes. The Anchor website also has a range of delicious easy to follow recipes. Why not try a making a quiche lorraine — the perfect picnic or snack food for families planning a day trip or a party — or a tasty chicken curry packed with spices and fresh herbs?

For those with a sweet tooth, the website also features a collection of delicious desserts and cakes, including Victoria sponge, strawberry tart and gooey, chocolatey profiteroles. All of the recipes feature Anchor Butter, with its uniquely creamy taste.

Family cooking nights are a great way to teach kids to cook while spending quality time together as a family. Teaching kids to cook from an early age means they are more likely to take an interest in the type and quality of foods they eat as adults. Basic cooking skills are easy to master and will be invaluable when they grow older and have to fend for themselves. It also means that one day you can send them off to university confident in the knowledge that they will have a diet that’s markedly more sophisticated than pizza and baked beans.
