Malta-born model Emma kept a watchful eye as Dad and the kids clowned around with balloon creations and soft toys in hand.

Containing no less than 11 veges, I reckon it’s a triumph of health and vitality , and I’m feeling a bit smug! Of course, to most of you, there’s probably nothing special about vege soup. But the reason I’m so excited is the fact that I can make it in the first place. As most of the Weekly team will tell you, my love of cooking is relatively new . A year ago, they would have keeled over in shock if I brought in anything remotely appetising – or healthy – for lunch. But thanks to a few people who have taken the time to teach me…
