Family Cook Hero Prints

"Mum, the milk's trying to escape!"

Come dine with me!

'I think the salmon is thoroughly smoked.'

'Progress of a bookshelf'

"I'm sorry, Ms. Cole is busy balancing family and career. Can I take a message and have her call you back?"

"You do like octopus?"

"The dryer giveth and the dryer taketh away."

You're the puff in my pastry!

'Like death by salad.'

"O young, naive one...you must know the golden rule of the kitchen. To avoid the mother of all disrespects...never criticize the cooking of a family elder."

"Tia Carmen, is it okay if my study group meets here tomorrow?"

'Congratulations, dear! Your home cooked dinner was so good you'd think it was an expensive frozen entree!'

"Mommy's going to teach you how to make a hamburger."

"Tia Carmen's not happy unless she can send people away with a plate of leftovers for the road."

"It's time you took a vacation, John. I said to 'marinate'... not 'palpate' the liver!"

Slices of bread rescuing burnt toast.

"....And then chuck the whole lot in the dustbin and phone for a take-away."

"I thought we'd eat out on the patio for a change."

'Caw blimey!'

The household cavalry

'Hurry up you guys! I'm about to serve dinner!'

'Dinner will be ready soon -- the submarine sandwiches are soaking now.'

"Why, Mr. Larsen! We were about ready to give up on you."

"Was there a photo in the recipe book? I'd love to see what it's meant to look like."
