Some people think that cooking with kids is simply bringing food to their table and then going home. This is not true! Cooking with kids requires lots of planning, interest, involvement and a whole lot of fun. It is a lot of fun for the adults, too -- learning new recipes, going over theories of cooking with your kids as well as learning about our different tastes.
