Simple and tasty recipes to make with children
Are your children bored or looking for something to do? Involve them in meal and snack preparation with our tips and recipes.
Teach them the basics
Awaken their interest in food and new flavours in the same way you might read them a story!
Then teach them a few health and safety principles: food safety, hand washing, knife and stove use under parental control.Give them suitable tasks
When cooking, remember that a child does not have the same dexterity and ability to concentrate as an adult.
To get started, choose simple recipes where all you have to do is put the ingredients together. Baking is perfect for beginners! You can increase the level of difficulty later on.Be patient and flexible, and have fun!
The goal is to create little moments of happiness, not to turn your children into sous-chefs.
Let them get dirty, get excited about the activity, take their time, and try out improbable food combinations. The only rule to follow: no food wastage.
