Cooking With Your Kids:
Nurturing Your Child’s “Inner Chef”
by Desiree Faerychild
In order to get our children
interested in eating nutritional
food, we should allow our
munchkins to cook with us at an
early age. Chances are, if a parent
is especially culinarily inclined,
some of this inspiration will be
naturally passed on to the child,
simply as a matter of enthusiasm,
ritual and interest. But if you have
a true protégé on your hands, you
may find yourself wondering if
you’re essentially up to the task.
Fundamentally, the education of
cooking begins with the study
of food, this is a very broad
subject, but it is also an important
foundation. You may be concerned
about kitchen safety, but that
is only one aspect of cooking
which your child will need to learn
about. There are plenty of things
to keep him involved, to help him
learn and absorb an abundance
of information; all the while
remaining safe and burn free.

allow visitors, or better still, guided
tours. Stroll through a chocolate
