This video is probably worth watching just for the final 30 seconds! It had to happen – and in many ways it is amazing that it has taken 17 videos for it to happen! All this will make complete sense when you watch it…
Whenever we cook new potatoes, I very often make a few too many and use them in a fritatta the following day. For me, the differences between an omelette and a fritatta are that a fritatta is finished off under the grill, it is thicker, generally much “fuller” of ingredients and usually contains potatoes…
Fritattas are wonderfully colourful, flexible, easy meals and lend themselves to pretty well any vegetables (and cold meats) you may have to hand. They are also delicious with added feta, cheddar or parmesan cheese.
Preparation time 5 minutes, cooking time 10-15 minutes in total.
This served three of us for lunch and there were still two portions for freezing.
6 large eggs
50ml milk
One sweet red pepper, chopped
5 large asparagus spears, chopped
A good handful of frozen peas
5-7 new potatoes, peeled and sliced (after they have been cooked)
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the grill in your oven to high.
OMG that's not what I thought was going to happen! Another inspired idea by @mydaddycooks.com
Very healthy & very cheap! Just ACE!
Hi, this looks lovely. When you freeze any leftover portions how to you then reheat them?
thanks, love the site
Hi Nichola, this freezes really well. I just give it a blast on high in the microwave. It heats up really quickly and is almost as good as first time round. It's certainly a great one to have in the freezer… thanks for your kind comments!

Great veggie recipe! Will try make mini frittata for myself as my kids not egg fans!!
Glad the camera survived its tumble!! LOL!! D
Insiped me to get my 2 year old preparing tea with me. Worked a treat, she loved the cooking and had my full attetion because we were working together, so no whinges. My 11 year old joined in half way through and they worked together. In fact the only one not involved was my 12 year old but he did make us an Eaton Mess on Monday. Must do it again, I had forgotten what fun it is cooking with them.
Oohh I was expecting something completely different to happen at the end! Glad it's all ok
The egg-breaking was fun to watch! My Molly loves breaking eggs too
Sweet vido as usual, and I'll let Molly make one for herself sometime!
Nick – I read the article on Archie and your cooking endeavours in the Eve Standard on my way home this evening and have your site open within minutes of coming home! I hope your book takes off and that this project, borne out of love and creativity, is a huge success! Absolutely fabulous
I will definitely be staying tuned and trying out the veg muffins very soon.

Nick – I read the article in ES about your blog and your lil’ angel Archie. I am in love with him. All the best for your book. I am sure it will be great success.
Hello, I just read about you at the newspaper today. I´m from Brazil but I work as a chef in London. Your idea is just amazing and your son is lovely..I still dont have kids but I want to do the same when I have them! Congrat´s
Dear Nick & Archie,
I read about you in the Evening Std – & went home to show my kids the article.
I enjoy cooking, specially with my daughter – who loves the chef’s treats !
I wish you all the best and hope your book is a huge success
Fantastic! You make a wonderful team. Archie is just adorable. Lovely to watch. V best of luck with everything. Please keep the videos coming!
Hello Nick and Archie,
Your story really made me smile when i read about you in the paper yesterday. Keep up the great work!
I read about you in the paper last night so thought I’d pop in – what a brilliant website and you and Archie great. I’m off to view some more of your videos now..
All the best, Jill
Hi guys
I too read the Standard article yesterday and would like to add what a great idea!! Although I don't have kids myself I work in catering and it greatly worries me about the future of younger generations and their general lack of understanding and interest in cooking, dishes and ingredients. Indeed I have the same worry with a lot of adults these days who make the excuse that they cannot cook fresh food on a budget!! As part of a large family we were raised in the seventies with not a huge amount of money however we all cooked and ate together and if you didn't finish your meal there was always someone else who would! This way we all learnt the value of food and the huge importance of a healthy balanced diet which we have carried through to adult-hood. Please keep up the good work guys. Maybe Jamie Oliver should get you in to some of those schools!!
I too saw the article and was inspired to get my three year old cooking with me and hopefully eating better – we have just made chicken satay kebabs (not one of your recipes but Annabel's I'm afraid!) and will see what happens……..
You are a natural to camera and hope you and Archie get a TV deal on top of the book. So great to see someone make something good happen out of a potentially bad situation. Well done and all the best.
Thanks Harriet, they are very kind words indeed… I hope you continue to enjoy the blog…
How fantastic! You are both simple gorgeous and I hope your website continues to grow and grow.
Hi Nick
just saw you on BBC Breakfast and checked out your blog which has inspired me no end! I am a mum of 18 month old twin boys in Watford and this has taken the fear out of letting them in the kitchen when they are a little older. I really didn’t want to be a mum who cooks separate meals for parents and children, especially kids meals which are dressed up as teddy bears etc. Thank you Nick for inspiration and a whole lot of parenting advice wrapped up in having great fun with your son.
Tracey
Tracey that is so lovely. And we are local too! I really think you are right to not want to make separate meals… and I love the way you say "parenting advice wrapped up as fun". That really sums up what we do here… it's fun first and foremost – all else follows!
I too read your article in the Evening stantard and thought it was a wonderful idea, my husband has always made bread with our son and daughter on a saturday morning.
Ah bread, we will be doing that soon… I love baking bread with Archie and then just eating it warm with proper butter! Thank you for your kind words…
My eight year old daughter and I saw you on BBC Breakfast the other morning and she wrote down the email address for me, that shows you how bad things are in my kitchen!!!! I have to be honest and say that I tend to lose patience when I'm trying to cook or bake (badly obviously!) with my girls, aged 8 and 4 (the 18 month old isn't quite ready yet!) but when I see you and cute Archie I feel inspired to give it another go! Any tips on stress freefamily cooking? You are both really entertaining to watch and I can't wait to see more. Good luck with everything!
Very cute indeed – Mummy luuuuuunch!
Hi Nick, I saw you on the Beeb yesterday and immediately looked up your website. My little son is only 12 weeks old so it's a bit early for him yet, but another new mum is coming round for lunch today and I'm going to do your vegetable frittata. Thanks for the inspiration – I look forward to a time when we can have as much fun in the kitchen together as you and Archie.
What a brilliant idea, I have not read the article but found your wonderful Blog via another one.
I love to see a child so engrossed by and comfortable around food, it’s how it should be!
Well done the pair of you, I’ll be back to watch your culinary adventures again.

Lovely, it reminds me my granny wonderful recipees!!
One suggestion from the deep of my italian heart…….please call it FRITTATA!
nICK, Could you tell me what sort of pan you have in this video? Random question I know, but it looks deeper than a normal frying pan. I've got another question on pans, just cant remember the video!
Cheers
Watching your videos make it so much easier to follow the recipes. Thank you so much. Even my 4 yrs old son likes to watch it or rather he likes to watch Archie. Will definitely give some of it a try ^o^
