Food For Your Brood, Sam Gates Recipe

Food For Your Brood is subtitled Cooking for the people you love, and here Sam provides recipes where she aims to create exciting, everyday food. The recipe book itself has an introduction and is divided into themes, each one having its own introduction. Food For Your Brood starts with Best Breakfasts and out of the 8 recipes, my interest was sparked by the homemade baked beans (p24) which forms part of the recipe for sweet potato and leek cakes. I do not like the smell of commercially produced baked beans as they remind me of a visit to a canning factory. I made the baked beans, which I had to simmer for 15 minutes more than the recipe stated, but that probably has to do with the temperature of my stove setting.
