Culinary Programs for Kids
If you have a small child that loves to cook, it may be time to send them off at a Culinary Arts Program for Kids. There are hundreds of them across the country. They will spend their time learning about food preparation, combining flavors, and making their own tasty dishes. If you want to start them off at home, here are two simple recipes that even little kids can make with a little parental supervision.
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are kid favorites, but how often do you let them put this concoction together themselves? Let them use a butter knife (the round-tipped variety) to dig in to the peanut butter jar and spread it on the bread. Give them a spoon for the jelly – showing them that separate utensils are used for each ingredient – and let them create the sandwich. Believe me, they’ll enjoy eating it more than usual.
- Toddlers love smoothies! You prepare the fruits requiring a knife, such as strawberries. Let them wash the fruit under running water in a colander. Let them mash up a banana in a bowl. Let them measure out juice or yogurt. Then, let the child pour it all into the blender cup. You fasten the lid, place it on the blender. They press the blender button. This most satisfying of recipes for toddlers becomes magic, performed by their own hands. Measure ice cream scoops and milk for a milkshake, or ice cream for a root beer float, letting them pour the root beer.
