And she's not a total stranger to fussy eaters, admitting that "Dot's not a saint - there are some days she just wants to eat boiled eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner". She can't totally escape pasta though: "I've had some children come for play dates and that's all they want to eat, but as a grown-up, you've allowed that to happen if you're serving plain pasta."

In the new book, Claire's recipes are categorised by how long they take to cook, with sections for on-the-go breakfasts and lunch box alternative For some, a stop at the café is a bonus; for others, it’s the main event. Either way, it promises delicious, wholesome food that feels like the best home cooking. The National Trust Family Cookbook is Claire’s new book and it’s full of beautiful and delicious family dishes with easy to follow recipes. They’re all family friendly and there are over 100 ideas for breakfasts, lunches at home, lunchboxes and evening meals plus desserts and bakes. My debut book is my guide to surviving and thriving at work and at home and offers insight into how to create a digital business or return to work with confidence.
