I know you can buy some pretty good pre made chicken stocks, but there’s nothing like making your own. It feels so nurturing, and the taste is so much more flavoursome and not so heavily salted. This is one of the simplest I have made, and you can freeze in small portions to use in your baby food.

    Hi, this sounds silly but where do I get the chicken bones? Would this be the carcass of a BBQ supermarket chook?

    My nonna’s secret is adding a lemon rind to the stock. She also uses turkey as well as chicken which gives a sweeter flavour
