This week we are airing a conversation Kathy had with Samantha Barnes from Raddish Kids. Raddish Kids is a subscription-based cooking club for children. Kathy and Lesli have both used Raddish Kids and love the real tools and print rich instructions included each month. This would make a great Christmas present for your children.
When cooking with children remember:
1. Safety first. Make sure cooking tools are appropriate for young children. You can find knives and other utensils made for them.
2. Let children create in the kitchen. The best chefs create their own recipes. We love this video of one of Kathy’s friends, Brittany allowing her kids to create in the kitchen first thing in the morning.
3. Make a print rich recipe book for young bakers/cooks.
4. Keep it simple. Cracking and cooking eggs is a super first cooking lesson.
5. Invite children to be a part of the meal planning.
6. It can be cleaned up. Things will get knocked over and messed up when cooking with children. Remember, it can be cleaned up.
7. Try again. If your children are not interested, do not give up. Keep inviting them into the kitchen.
