Kids in the kitchen

After this long period of home schooling, staying at home and missing their friends, it’s even more important to keep younger family members happy and adults sane! Spending time in the kitchen with my two was always a very happy time when they were small and even now that they are all grown up – well, they think they are – it is still a lovely way to spend time. Having children in the kitchen is about making memories and I still remember the rst little recipes

I did with them, that excitement and great con dence that young ones have preparing scones, simple bread doughs, easy soups and cake batters. They’re great at reading recipes and measuring the ingredients. So what if there is a bit of a mess ( just teach them how to clean well!) – this process will improve their life skills, personal journeys and encourage adapting to new learning experiences. Enjoy these magical moments!
