I am not one that likes to cook. Most times its only if its raining outside or for a special occasion.
Now my twelve year old little niece absolutely loves it. She is right into these master chef shows, the Jamie Oliver shows also.
My niece is a dessert lover, so making a delicious cheesecake with a very tasty sauce poured over top seems to come easy to her.
She is constantly on the net getting recipes from the show and trying to prepare them, her mum thinks its great getting these delicious desserts made all the time, perhaps not the cost to make them.
I think it is great that children are learning to cook, it brings out their creative side. The ability for a child to solve a problem builds their Cognitive development. Developing their own ideas about a recipe gets them thinking and can build their self esteem also.
Children can learn to express themselves through cooking. They can explore, investigate and experiment and be challenged in their thinking.
Working on a project they have an interest in will be more satisfying and when the creation appears the overwhelming feeling of achievement will be great.
So never stop your child from experimenting. Share your child's enthusiasm for exploration and give them encouragement to express themselves with what ever they do.
