Grown-up Stuff:
For the tasks which require “adults
only,” simply explain to your little
helper that everyone has jobs that
are suitable. Without talking down
to him, let him know that this is
one job which you need to complete
alone. Perhaps he can watch from
a safe distance while you open
the oven, cook the stir fry, or cut
veggies with a sharp knife. Knowing
that he’s still a novice, (and will
only be permitted to help you as
long as he adheres to the kitchen
rules) may curtail any ideas he may
have of trying to “help” when he’s
not needed or when it is not safe
for him to do so.

Rewards:
The best part of cooking with your
child is the end product: seeing
and tasting the dishes you’ve
both worked hard to create. But
for your child, perhaps the most
rewarding part is when she is
handed the empty cake batter
bowl and whisk to “clean” to her
heart’s content. Regardless of
what you create, bake or design,
the memories you’ve cooked up
together in your kitchen, whether
they’re fancy or modest, are the
memories which will be cherished
forever.

and working together goes, it’s
hard to beat cooking as a fantastic
collaborative activity, which, in the
very least, will create the recipe
