For preschool kids print off the picture
recipes and add to your recipe file.
Ever since our children were very young we have been cooking together.
Initially
it was the usual easy kid recipes and decorating fairy cakes and
biscuits. As our children have grown (they range in age from 12 – 5) I
have asked them to participate in cooking the evening meal and other
additional cooking chores.
Over the course of this last year my
10 and 12 year old children have learnt to create a great number of
tasty meals. My son is the more adventurous and confident cook, thus he
creates meals like “Basil and Parmesan Meatballs with a Tomato sauce
over Spaghetti.” My oldest daughter has preferred learning how to make
waffles, flapjacks, choc chip brownies and egg dishes.
This year
we are creating recipe books for them. As they master their dish they
will write the recipe out and file it in a folder. This means when they
eventually set up their own homes, they will have a tried and tested
recipe book to give them a strong start.
My younger two children
are well into their training process already (aged 5 and 8) by making
salads, baking and making fresh carrot juice for us in the morning!
I hope this idea will inspire other moms with young chefs,

Wendy
