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.

I love how easy these recipes are to follow!  It makes me feel so independent in the kitchen and I feel like I could cook anything.  Previously, I tended to avoid cooking by myself as recipes were overwhelming with the amount of work that had to be put in.  With the Easy Spoonfuls recipes I feel in control in the kitchen as each step is broken down into a simplistic way.  I'm able to make a delicious dinner myself that is filling as well as appetising.  Another massive pro of using these recipes is the photos that come with the instructions, this is really helpful as it gives me a visualisation.
