Kids + Cooking

I love cooking with my children. There curious minds are like little sponges, wanting to help measure, stir and taste. Cooking is not only visual it’s about taste, scent and texture. Being adventurous and trying different foods. Learning how to weigh ingredients, how to halve and double quantities, these lifelong skills are invaluable. I am conscientious what we cook and I try to educate the kids what goes into food and why some food is better than others.

I believe food should be a pleasure, it should be enjoyed both in preparation and sharing with family and friends. Children should understand where food comes from, how it is grown, food should be appreciated... I hope these foundations and this understanding and respect for food, will help them make sensible food choices later in life.

Lulu and Sebastian love helping me cook.  It’s not always peachy, they do argue and make a mess at times, however the banter and funny giggles are heart warming. I hope in years to come they will cherish the memories and share their passion for cooking and baking with their own families. 

I hope you enjoy trying these recipes with your loved ones.
