Because the house smells great with fresh baking and its always nice to lick the spoon of your creation and share a slice of cake.
Its nice to have some home baking in the house for the week, to feed hungry mouths when they come home from school, having tea and cake with fellow mummies over a play date, or 4 o'clock snacks between lunch and dinner wouldn't be the same without a cookie or two.
What ever the reason its good to get into the kitchen especially with little ones to give them the practical skills in measuring, mixing and taste as well as satisfaction that they have created and cooked something themselves.
Soda Bread is one of my favorite breads to eat it has a lovely crumberly texture and great smothered in butter. i have never known how to make it and thought it maybe difficult. I have enjoyed watching Paul Hollywood on t.v recently with his making bread series and one of the episodes was about soda bread where he said that is was one of the easiest breads to make so easy his 11 year old boy made it. As Sophie is a rather good little cook at 3 years old we thought we would give it a go.
