My kids learned to cook at a very early age. My son learned to dabble when he was 18 months old. My kids, now 12 & 10, even have made the whole Thanksgiving Dinner. They wanted to help with the dinner because I can't walk right now due to severely damaging my ankle. They did it all and the turkey was so moist. I was impressed. This year because both my kids love to cook, I've decided to make them each a family keepsake cookbook. I've asked all friends and relatives to e-mail us their favorite recipe and I will make it up into a book for Christmas. I will then pass off a disc to each of the families that participate. My kids have both expressed that they want to be a chef when they grow up. Even if they change their minds between now and then, they will still have this to use. I'm a hands on kind of person and my kids have used this experience towards math and science in school. They love our time in the kitchen where they get to experiement with new ideas. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't but it it is all a learning experience. Have fun!!!!
