In this episode Yumi has a story about how her two younger kids nearly got food poisoning... and the fact is, Simon has ACTUAL REAL HELP for parents trying to feed their kids.

2-Speed Pilaf (serves 4)

You need a good-sized, heavy-pased pan with a lid that fits.

Start by in that pan, adding 1tbs butter and 1tbs olive oil,

add a finely chopped onion. Fry down until the onion has softened and then add a clove or two of minced garlic.

Fry up 1.5cups of basmati rice, 1tsp cumin and 1/2 tsp of turmeric. (Leave these out if your kids are sensitive of spices!)

Add in the 2.5 cups stock and water and cook at a low heat with the lid on. Allow to cook for 12 mins.

For kids?

Stir through a knob of butter and some peas and sweet corn.

For the adults?

Take some purple seedles grapes and a little olive oil fry them until blistering.

To the pan, toss through mint, dill and parsley, some lemon zest and lemon juice.

Spoon the rice into bowls, top with the blistered grabs and a fat dollop of labne or crumble over some fetta and sprinkle over some Aleppo pepper.
