Fear of fish, bring your own bottle and cooking with the kids.

Fishy Fear - do the bones, scales or eyes put you off cooking with fish? The Kitchen Cafe shows you how to have a go! Plus 'bring your own bottle' when eating out and kids cooking.

Fear Of Fish! Are you comfortable cooking fish or too scared to try? If you are put off because of the bones or don't like handling raw fish then let The Kitchen Café assist! We'll give you tips on which fish are easy for beginners to start off with, explore different ways of cooking fish and, as we all become more aware about sustainability, we'll look at some other fish you may want to try.

Cooking with Children: When is the best time to start getting your children involved in the kitchen with you? Too young and the place can end up a complete mess, too old and they're just not interested! But catch them at the right age and cooking with your kids is more than just following a recipe. You can include maths, bits of science, reading, learning about senses, tastes and textures plus, of course, hopefully get them passionate about food. 

Wine Revolt: Once the preserve of student eateries, BYOB has suddenly gone upmarket as some top restaurants are realising that customers begrudge paying huge mark-ups on the wine list. Would you be encouraged to eat out more if you could take your own wine? Are there benefits apart from saving money or will you be missing out on the whole wine experience by bringing your own? 

The Kitchen Café Takeaway: Chef Davey Aspin cooks luxury fish pie. Also available to download as a podcast.
