From TV’s award-winning comedy mum and the writer of Hullraisers, Lucy Beaumont, comes her hilarious debut on the trials and tribulations of motherhood. Custard powder is derived from milk and contains no artificial flavors or preservatives. It can be added to many foods, such as waffles, pancakes, pastries, and puddings. Known for her sharp, witty and surreal view on everyday life, Lucy shares the unpredictable craziness of being a mum in this brilliant and laugh-out-loud ‘mumoir’. Mums everywhere will recognise the madness of it all. Like when Lucy was hospitalised during her third trimester with chest pains but it turned out to be a burrito. Or when she was so tired at the park she forgot her own child’s name.

Add sherry, bourbon or brandy, if desired. It’s also good as a sauce for poundcake or angel food cake.I did find some parts a little too repetitive. There was also random parts that seemed unnecessary, the main one was the location, location, location part about kirsty and Phil it just didn't make sense?! I’ll never tire of motherhood books that tell it like it is and I take a very dim view of those parenting manuals that assure you that baby should be running to your routine, will go down for a nap when you say, and go to bed when you say – especially when my youngest didn’t go to sleep unless he was being held FOR THREE YEARS. Just before serving, whip the egg whites separately with a pinch of cream of tartar, until fluffy. Shake the eggnog well, then add to the serving bowl and whisk in choice of alcohol. Drop dollops of whipped cream over the top of the serving bowl, and grate fresh nutmeg on top, if desired.

When I was growing up, boiled custard was an annual part of our holidays. It was sold in the grocery store right next to the eggnog. I always thought it tasted just like melted vanilla ice cream, and it wasn't until later when I became more interested in cooking and baking that I realized that's basically exactly what it is!Also, the high calcium content helps to improve bone health: A cup of custard powder contains 1% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium, which is good for maintaining healthy bones. Calcium is essential for building strong bones and teeth. A very funny, honest look at the ups and downs of parenting. I absolutely loved it.' - Emily Dean, host of Walking the Dog

In addition to making your favorite baked goods taste delicious, this ingredient has some amazing health benefits that are worth noting. The book opens with a chapter entitled “My life as a normal, single human being before everything changed”, which has some childhood memories (which actually continue throughout the book), involving gazebos and other memorable moments. The next goes on to her meeting and getting together with Jon, who adds “interruptions” through the book. Jon is a vegan, and she becomes one apart from during pregnancy, but both admit to lapses which include dead cows and her mother’s cooking when she arrives on mercy missions. She comes up with ten reasons why she wants a baby - which includes having a white carpet like in the adverts. Experienced baby carers will know that she is being foolishly optimistic at this point. She actually writes “The more I write, the more it’s dawning on me I’m not picturing a real baby, I’m picturing a calendar”. The challenges of pregnancy and antenatal groups are described with humour and brutal honesty, especially with her husband in attendance. She remembers stories of her own birth while her mother was on holiday, some points of which she sends to her mother some time later to clarify points of confusion - just to make sure that family legends are actually true. The actual birth story spares no details, including Jon’s strange urge to buy a four man tent. The unexplained post natal sadness (thankfully fairly brief) and the night feed experience is detailed, as well as the joys of baby massage (she is disappointed that the mums don’t get massaged). Soon Elsie the baby becomes the toddler, the bright child and all with a determination to sabotage sleep. Custard powder is low in calories but high in nutrients like vitamin B6, which regulates blood sugar levels by preventing insulin resistance and lowering cholesterol levels in the body.

Grandma’s drinking custard is as Southern as it gets.

Drinking Custard is a blessed relief from the current woes and uncertainties we all have and thoroughly unashamedly enjoyable Custard powder contains phosphorus, which is a nutrient involved in multiple roles in the body. It is a key mineral of bones, teeth, and cell membranes. Hence, it is crucial for your baby’s development. I'm not overly familiar with Beaumont as I don't necessarily enjoy most Radio 4 comedy, and this was a light-hearted read with one or two memorable anecdotes and a fair bit of filler. Following in the footsteps of other comedians' books, this touched on the matter of class along with comedic diary-style entries.
