I didn’t have children, but since I love to cook, I often thought I would have taught my children to cook when they were very young. I learned to cook when I was eight. A mom of four who loves to cook told me she had her children in the kitchen as soon as they could stand on a box and reach the counter. We naturally want to share what we love with our children. I know some parents who assign one night a week to each child to plan, prepare and cook the family dinner.
My cookbook, Let’s Cook Tonight, is perfect for children because the recipes are easy to read, understand, and follow. With traditional recipes, you often have to explain the terms and directions to your children. With Let’s Cook Tonight’s recipes that won’t be necessary. Just give them the cookbook and let them have fun. Anyone mature enough to reach the counter and safely use a knife can cook.
The point of the Let’s Cook Tonight Movement is to teach that cooking is easier than you think and you and your family are worth the time and effort it takes. It doesn’t matter who actually does the cooking---mom, dad, grandma, uncle, little brother---as long as someone is ensuring that the family is eating real food cooked from scratch and served in an atmosphere of love.
Cooking is easier than you think and you and your family are worth the time and effort it takes.
Food Safety Tip: If you have a habit of wiping your hands on a towel, make sure the one you use to wipe meat juices from your hands is not the same towel you use to dry your clean hands later.
