I've been writing a new column for Times Online this past couple of weeks and failed to indulge myself by mentioning it here - so now I am!Kids In The Kitchen will be a weekly column which I hope you all enjoy. The title says it all - it's all about cooking with the kids - and it's a subject that has been close to my heart in the time I have been writing this Blog.
This week is a take on a kedgeree. The recipe is below but please check out the article at The Times and feel free to comment over there if not here.

My friend makes a wonderful kedgeree, so I just invite myself round to hers whenever I feel like having some. I've never made it myself, but your version looks so simple and quick that I'll have to have a go.
Brilliant! Congratulations on the column Dave! I look forward to reading it, and I don't even have any kids!
Wish I'd seen this sooner, just used up some haddock from North Shields Fish Quay. Sounds and looks like a good meal for anytime and a nice bit of spice for that lasting taste.
Congrats on the column, it sounds perfect. cooking creates connections and memories and even very young kids can help out in the kitchen. Today I posted picture of my son's cookies on my blog, that's more important than what I cooked :-)
That kedgeree sounds delicious...i have never tried it before....this version looks simple i hope i can do it....right away M gonna get the ingredients from www.myethnicworld.com and prepare it.... thanks for sharing.
Nice article David, I am pleased for you :)
Thought I spied a familiar Geordie in the Times Online! Best of luck with it and yet another great flavour combo
Hmmmm, how could you not remember to share this good news with us :)
Congratulations on your new column, David. I did post a comment on the article, but I'm not sure if it worked. I have no kids, but will be trying this anyway.
