Forget the mess and all those excuses that having kids in your kitchen is more trouble than it's worth. Why not educate tomorrow's healthy eaters by teaching them all you know about food while helping them to become independent, confident cooks. With 60 family recipes, colourful food photographs, good safety advice and lots of practical tips, this book is for every child's parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or grown-up friend. The author urges adults to think of it as an investment in the future: if you start involving kids in food preparation when they're toddlers, they will be cooking dinner for you before they leave home!
