Kids in the Kitchen
Cooking with and for children
Though it might seem that the kitchen is the worst place for a child to be when you’re busy cooking a family meal after a long day, the truth is that there are lots of benefits to getting children involved in preparing food. Of course, it’s better to have them elsewhere while you are making elaborate meals involving hot pans of water or oil, taking things in and out of the oven, and using sharp knives. But welcoming them into the kitchen to show them how to prepare meals is a great way to teach children more about food, encourage them to try new things, and set them up for a life of enjoying cooking.
