Introduction

• Do you cook with your kids? My son has been in
  the kitchen with me since he was a newborn
  sitting in his bouncy chair. Now that hes a
  little older, the fun is just beginning. Cooking
  with children can be messy, but I promise you,
  cooking together as a family is well worth the
  time and effort.

Introduction

• When we teach a child to cook, we are empowering
  them to take charge of their own nutrition and
  helping them grow into healthy adults. People who
  know how to cook, eat better because they dont
  have to rely on prepared meals or fast food to
  survive. And did you know that children are more
  likely to try a new meal if they help prepare
  it?

Introduction

• Nutritional benefits arent the only reason to
  get cooking with your kids. Cooking helps
  children build self-confidence and completing a
  recipe gives them a sense of accomplishment. Its
  also a great way to develop and expand math,
  science and reading comprehension skills. Cooking
  can also be a great way to introduce children to
  new cultures via international cuisines.

  with a simple recipe (if the kiddo is young and
  new to cooking) will ensure a positive cooking
  experience for all.
