If there’s one thing the team has learnt during five years of PJ Library in the UK, it’s how much our families love a good child-friendly recipe! We got in touch with five of our favourite cooks who shared their FIVE ingredient recipes to help celebrate FIVE years of Jewish bedtime stories. We’ve let them have those store cupboard essentials (olive oil, stock cubes, salt and pepper) and after testing these ourselves, feel confident it won't just be our own families enjoying these delicious foods.
