What is the value of cooking with kids?
Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, and recipes. Cooking is about imagination, empowerment, creativity, joy and love. Helping kids learn and grow up in the kitchen is a joy to behold. Children are impressionable. By giving them an education about good nutrition and skills needed to cook, children will learn to love to eat and cook for themselves. Perhaps this joy will manifest itself into a career in the food industry when they are older. Cooking can be a social activity. Cooking your own meal can save you a lot of money!
