From corn fritters in tray-bake form to overnight bacon French toast, these time-saving recipes take the stress out of feeding the whole table without compromising on flavour.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Cut into wedges and serve hot or warm. The Dutch baby can be baked up to 4 hours ahead; reheat in the skillet in a 425° oven for 5 minutes.

Ah, the sweet joy of a new life entering this great big world. But how do the Dutch celebrate this? They invest in HEAPS of baby decor for their windows and lawns, and you really can’t miss it.
