(A box of 6 costs £15 from Beauty Naturals).

Foodie inspiration

For mother’s interested in history or cooking, this tome by author May Bayron is a fun and inspiring collection of recipes inspired by the Great War. Aiming to give a flavour of life on the Home Front, the dishes include the curious sounding Trench Pudding, as well as several rather outlandish ideas.
