Borek (Potato Parcels)
'Borek's are something I grew up eating and it has a special place in our kitchen. Keir's sister adores them. Borek is a filo pastry bite which typically is filled with spinach and feta cheese, but my mum also used to make a simple potato filling too. You might have heard of spinach version with … Continue reading Borek (Potato Parcels)

My cake had … Continue reading PKU Chocolate Birthday Cake
Sewing – Electronic Scale Cover
I've been wanting to make a cover for Keir's electronic scale for a while. Like all PKU mums, I carry a electronic scale in my handbag all the time for weighing out Keir's food on the go. I felt it needed a cover to protect it from dirt getting into tiny grooves around the buttons any … Continue reading Sewing – Electronic Scale Cover

Two reasons for this; firstly, it hardly creates any mess in the kitchen and secondly it is very quick. It is the most hassle free way to … Continue reading PKU Bread by hand

We used Eileen Green's recipes from her Fate cookbook using Fate all purpose flour. The recipes were really … Continue reading PKU Onion Bhaji and Naan bread
PKU Easter Eggs
Easter Time. Anticipated egg hunts, chocolate prizes are coming. I was very relaxed about it, thinking we will avoid chocolate maybe (false hope) as Keir is not so aware of chocolate yet. I then found out that Keir will be taking part in an Easter Egg Hunt at his nursery and chocolate prizes will be … Continue reading PKU Easter Eggs
