Shhh .. don't tell everyone but we're working on a top secret new project in the form of The Mumsnet Cookbook and we need your help.
We'd like to get together a Mumsnet Cookbook cookery group to stop us from piling on the pounds help us test these shortlisted recipes.
Each volunteer will be allocated a recipe which they'll then cook for their family and give us some feedback on how easy, hard, good, bad, expensive etc they are and whether they'd make it again. All the recipes chosen were submitted over the years by Mumsnetters, so there shouldn't be any outlandish
or particularly difficult to source ingredients - and they should all be pretty easy to make (we hope!).
As a thank-you, we'll be putting everyone who helps out into a prize draw to win a Bloomsbury cookbook.
And if that's not enough of an incentive, everyone who helps will have their *Mumsnetter nickname featured in the cookbook's acknowledgements.
Catherine-pesto spaghetti done!
Couldn't be easier to make. Had to improvise with the bacon as my co op didn't have pancetta or lardons so just used rashers!! It was inexpensive, creamy and tasty and my 20 month old loved it 'mmmm nice'!!

Sorry, I've only just done mine - the coronation chicken was very tasty! I've taken a picture, what would you like me to do with it?

NewYearNewboo - yes do please do the choc ices and feedback please.
The slow cooked chicken was nice but I think next time I make it I'll add some veggies like carrots and button mushrooms. And a spoonful of honey and a load of black pepper. Will do proper feedback thingy now! 
I made those banana muffins at the weekend, they are AMAZING!
