Annabel's Kitchen

[vogonmothership]

I really dislike outbursts of blasphemy. However.

Jesus Christ.

It is truly awful isn't it. Caught it the other day, boy obviously hated what they had cooked.

It is truly dreadful isn't it? Even DS thinks it is pants and if allowed to he will watch any old shite on CITV. I think he can tell mummy is not a fan of CITV in general and so gravitates towards it deliberately.

She doesn't even cook anything really - there's just those pointless penguins getting into a kerfuffle about a nonsense (the eventual resolution of which is predictable within about 15 seconds) and her arranging some raw fruit/veg on a plate. The other day she mad a sheep out of a head of raw cauliflower. Er, and?

DH is a rampant capitalist but I pointed out the difference between Annabel's Kitchen and I Can Cook and he had to agree the Beeb's proferring in this regard is much better.

We have actually made a few of annoying Katie's recipes and they have been jolly nice. It's actual food instead of 'messed with'.

But AK. The Alice band is bad enough, the puppets have a better presenting ability than her. Her face doesn't move. Really words fail me.

I have never bought her books. I don't need instructions to tell me how to mash up some veg.

I now employ Katie's method of slicing up a pepper without knife or scissors because DS can do it and he loves peppers.

I actually quite love Katie.

what is Katy's method of cutting peppers?

You push in the stalk hard, and then tear it open. Then you can remove the stalk and seeds. I think she gets the little ones to use safety scissors to chop up after they've then got two halves of de-seeded pepper but DS and I just tear it into chunks.

ooh must try

@vogonmothership. Your comments are irrelevant. You just sound like a bitter old lady who has to resort to commenting on someone's appearance. Annabel Karmel has been a revelation and has revolutionised the way in which we feed our children when time is limited. You're not setting a very good example to your little one/ones. Were you never taught "if you haven't got anything nice to say then keep it to yourself. You just sound like a bully

at ^

I didnt understand the funny veggi-ometer machine

I am very sorry, I take it all back, but please tell your mum to lose the headband. Seriously. At least my face moves

oops I did it again. Sorry.

I wont comment on AK's appearance but there isn't any actual cooking in the show. It's all just take stuff that is raw, pre-chopped, or even pre-cooked and make it into a face/animal. I can cook is full of tasty, pretty healthy recipes even very young children can make. My 2 year old is a dab hand at making banana bread!

And if you need a book to tell you how to make carrot puree then I find that worrying.
