Senior Chef
Kids Cooking Lessons
16-18 years old
Introduction


Kids Cooking Activities Ebooks

ebooks collection

Senior Chef Kids Cooking Lessons for 16–18 year olds is great preparation for going to college. Now is the time to teach and reiterate everything they have learned or should learn so they won’t be eating fast food or TV dinners every night once they leave home. 

Let them cook main dishes (not macaroni and cheese out of a box) such as lasagna, casseroles, meat dishes, etc.

If your 16-18 year old doesn’t know how to cook and you are just joining us feel free to look back at the previous age groups for ideas on how best to get your teenager on the right road.

Lesson 8--Preserving food


Teenagers are already old enough to cook just about anything in the kitchen, so, now is the time to really let their imaginations soar.

Give them more responsibility with the menu planning and the preparing for the family. It will do them a world of good when they are on their own someday.

If they really enjoy cooking, let them create and experiment with their own recipes.

Now is the time to:

  • Practice with halving and doubling recipes. (You can do this in the previous age group also.)


  • Assign a night for them to cook.


  • Try some international food nights-Mexican night, Italian night, Eastern European fare, Chinese, etc.


  • Plan balanced menus, menus for special parties and continue helping plan family meals.


  • Learn certain kitchen tasks, such as canning or drying foods.


  • Learn shopping techniques, such as saving money, what to buy, etc. (Some of this your teen will already know. Now is the time to reiterate for when they are buying their own groceries)
