Many youngsters have no idea how long they should leave an egg on the hob for, with a quarter believing it should remain in the saucepan for at least 10 minutes. The study also found that almost half of youngsters never or rarely help prepare evening meals, even though around a third of parents want them to take part. The poll for the supermarket chain Morrisons said 37 per cent of children preferred watching television or surfing the internet to cooking.

Dumas arrived on the island in 1842, in the company of Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew. "It is fantastic and lonely, smelling of thyme and broom," he wrote, in a letter. He decided to write The Count of Monte Cristo to remind him of the trip.
