Young chef!

Emma absolutely loves cooking and watching Masterchef.  It is one of the few tv programmes that totally absorb her.  It is sad to think she probably will not be able to be a chef when she grows up as her allergies will make it an unsafe career choice.

However, even if it cant be a career, Emma works hard at home, baking safe biscuits, cakes, desserts and helping out with dinner.  Yesterday Emma and Sarah made some yummy afghan biscuits.  Then Emma made this yummy tuna pasta dinner pretty much by herself. 

Afghan Biscuits (adapted from the edmonds cookbook)
200g olivani
1/2 c Sugar
1 1/4 c flour
1/4 c cocoa
about 4 weetbix crushed
Creamed butter and sugar until light & fluffy.
Stir in sifted flour and cocoa then fold in weetbix.
Roll into balls and flatten with fork.
Bake at 180 C for 15 minutes.

The Tuna Pasta is a quick and easy dinner for when you dont have much time.
Saute a chopped onion and garlic in some olive oil until soft.  Then add a tin of tomatoes and some herbs (Emma likes fresh basil) when you are nearly ready to serve, add a tin of tuna and warm through.  Serve over cooked pasta with a salad on the side.
