24 Carat Dhs. Her rationale was that if people realised that they need to eat well, they would learn to cook well and appreciate fine food. And it's part of her motto - cooking is about enjoyment.
Children learn to eat by touching, tasting, feeling, smelling, watching and listening.
This is also how they learn to appreciate food, how to assist in the kitchen, and in turn, how to cook and serve food. It is pass in any part of the world, to assume that only girls should spend time in the kitchen, or worse, that only women should, or can cook. Little boys who will soon grown into young men ought to know as much as little girls on how the things they eat are prepared. It is a very old generation of men who confess that the only meal they know to prepare is baked beans on toast. Children love to help prepare food and to cook because they can employ their imagination, use their brains and put their hands, and of course, their little mouths, to good use.
