However, meal times for us and for many families are an important event. And we’ve found it can be a fun activity you can enjoy with the kids.

Here are three family favourites we enjoy rustling up with our kids – they go down well, too!

How to do it
Pile up a stack of pitta bread that has been sliced open one side to take the filling. Lay out the toppings and let the kids fill their own pizzas. Wrap each pizza in foil and heat in the fire embers or over a barbecue. They won’t take very long to cook. You are looking to warm them through and melt the cheese.
 
These are surprisingly good, and the kids have fun too.

How to do it
Lay out all the ingredients. Open a pack of Nacho crisps each (scrunching the bag to make the pieces smaller first helps). Give each child a bag and a fork. Let them put in what they like then shake and stir the bag. Eat from the bags with the fork.

This is another really simple recipe. You can even do it on a picnic. 

This is another gooey mess the kids will like. 

Cooking time can vary and it’s a bit of an experiment. You may need to take one out regularly to see how the cake is cooking. Don’t expect perfection as you would get from using the oven at home, but you should get at nice moist – and possibly still gooey – cake inside each orange.
