The Good Foundation
Cooking has got to be up there as one of the most valuable skills we can teach our children. Getting the little ones excited about food, where it comes from and how to cook it, gives them a better chance of being healthier and happier in the long run. So, get the kids in the kitchen this Christmas to help with your feast prep!
Start the day at a more leisurely pace by treating yourselves to some simple one-cup pancakes. The kids can measure out the ingredients and help mix the batter. Firstly, get the pan hot and then let them tip the batter from a jug or ladle. If you’ve got batter to spare they could even try flipping them! Then comes the best part, decorating them with lots of delicious fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup!
Then it’s onto Christmas lunch and dinner. These delicious non-heat recipes are easy for the kids to help prep and make the perfect accompaniment to all of the usual suspects at a Christmas feast, like roasts and seafood. Even the littlest hands can help with tearing herbs, helping to mix stuffing ingredients or shaking the jam jar for a jam jar dressing.
