Darina Allen: Crudités with Penny’s Sweet and Sour Dip

WHEN I was a child my brothers, sisters and I ran home up the hill from the village school in Cullohill every day for lunch. How lucky were we? 

I didn’t even think about it at the time but now with hindsight I realise how fortunate we were to have a nourishing meal at midday.

Mummy didn’t have the daily hassle that mothers all over the country have of trying to provide school lunches that their children will actually tuck into and eat.
