I am a very late starter in the kitchen. I have a 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son and would love them to enjoy cooking as I never did until recently! I found this website whilst looking for scone recipes.I had tried to make them twice before and ended up with inedible rock cakes!!! I finally got them right after trying one of the recipes here. I like REALLY well-explained recipes, and ones with US/UK conversions.
