Recipe for Egg Person Toast & giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This book is overflowing with fun and delicious recipes to feed your children. With monkey milkshakes and miniature lasagnas, the grown-ups can find some treats too. When my children were little, we spent a lot of time in London. Our favorite meal was nursery tea, with the requisite sandwiches and pudding, and the oh-so-British Eggs and Soldiers, or eggs with tall, narrow pieces of toast, covered in butter and jam. Ah. Reminiscent of those teas is this adorable egg person with toast. Cheerio!
