“The recipes have helped Violets' confidence and she has been excited to bake for family members explaining she did it all on her own. She has become very independent and confident with cooking now - never too young to learn! "

I created Easy Spoonfuls as our Autistic son loved helping alongside me in the kitchen but wasn’t confident enough to tackle a complete meal or bake on his own.  

There were just so many things for him to remember and I found I was automatically jumping in and doing some of those things for him (which isn't great for encouraging independence!) 

Having an overview of what needs doing comes with experience, and sometimes trial and error, but Richard would get too upset if something went wrong.  

He needed a recipe layout that would take him from choosing a recipe to serving it up to us with no ambiguity along the way.

“Emilia is 6. She found the recipe very easy to follow – reading the instructions, recognising equipment and measuring ingredients. Then, with just a little help from nanny, she was able to make the peanut cookies. Her favourite part was rolling the balls in sugar and pressing them down with the fork."
