Cooking is at once child's play and adult joy.
And cooking done with care is an act of love. Boys as well as girls feel the urge to cook, the problem is to find recipes youngsters can use. Too often our own cookbooks are impossible for a child to follow. Easy recipes make it fun to start kids cooking in the kitchen. Allowing your youngster to help with the meal preparations may spark their interest in cooking and may well develop into a life-long rewarding and pleasurable skill.
