School's Easter break is in full swing! 🐣

If you're looking for activities to do with kids, our friends at Food Savvy Suffolk have put together some simple and tasty recipes and tips for cooking that everyone will enjoy making (and eating too!)

These recipes use up odds and ends as well as ingredients that usually linger in your cupboard anyway 😊

Find them here: https://www.foodsavvy.org.uk/kids-baking
