I could talk for ages about the importance of cooking, however specifically cooking with children I believe is so important for the following reasons.
It instils healthy eating habits-if children are allowed to choose the ingredients, taste and experience new food they hopefully will grow to love the healthy food for life!
Cooking together in the kitchen is a great bond and creates fabulous memories. Some of my earliest memories are in the kitchen with either my Grandma or Mum!
Confidence-When a child produces an amazing plate of food and can say “I made this myself” they will start to feel confident in many areas of their life!
