We live in an age where there has never been more interest in food and cooking and yet many children have no idea where the food they eat comes from. We have a huge problem with childhood obesity and yet many children lack essential nutrients. Writer Michael Pollan’s mantra ‘Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants’ rings true, but we have no hope of achieving this unless we allow children to be part of the ‘farm to fork’ journey

Pumpkin may be used in place of kumara, if preferred. Note

If fresh fruit is unavailable, use canned peaches and apricots. Note

There’s much more to this late-summer raw salad by Megan May

People assume that because one is old that time is not an issue. The trouble is, when you are as old as I am, everything simply takes so much longer to do! I can assure you, Nana’s brain moves just as quickly as ever, but my poor old limbs just don’t seem to follow, so a recipe that is reasonably quick to prepare is a boon for me. Most pickles and chutneys take the best part of a day to make and three months to mature. To speed things along, I’m making a batch of sweet and tangy bread and butter pickles. They are as delicious as a relish, but are ready in 24 hours.

For a less earthier flavour, swap yellow lentils for yellow split peas. Note

Drain tofu and if time permits, press lightly with a plate for a short while, to remove some of excess liquid. Using an oil that can reach a high temperature without burning is important when it comes to frying tofu. Rice bran oil is perfect for this. Note

In the heat of summer, impress your friends and family with this refreshing and flavour-packed raw pasta dish by Megan May

Many countries claim dolmas or dolmades as their own. What makes this version Armenian is the addition of dill and cinnamon. Vary this dish with either sultanas or chopped dried apricots instead of currants, and oregano in place of dill. Note
