Hi Kathy,
I followed the Irish Bread recipe today, and made some with my 4 year old. He loved making it more than eating it I think. Please find attached some pictures of him, and the cake / bread. I’m planning on making the Chocolate Fudge Brownies next.
regards

Hi David, your son is adorable! At least one of you must be a good cook – the bread looks perfect! (My mom always toasts this bread and adds lashings of butter.) Enjoy! Kathy
