Darina Allen: Showing off some of my grandchildren's favourite recipes

"I have 11 grandchildren, all of whom love to eat, and many of whom love to experiment in the kitchen - I don’t have space to share all of their recipes this week, but watch this space..."

Some of Darina's grandkids' culinary choices

Guess what? I celebrated my 75th birthday recently. I’m ancient by many young people's standards, but they don’t seem to realise that I only feel about 20-something.

Florrie made me a gorgeous praline birthday cake, my favourite, and I got lots of cute little handwritten and hand-painted birthday cards from my grandchildren, plus two flasks to remind me to go on more picnics.
