Consumer Kitchens, agree that
cooking is a great creative outlet
and that the simple acts of mixing
and measuring together can lead
to amazing conversations and
memories that last a lifetime. Their
advice is to:
Get them to plug into you – Make
the experience as meaningful as
possible by designating the kitchen
as a “technology-light” zone. Have
them use their laptop or Smartphone
to access favorite recipes, but no
texting allowed. This is your chance
to simply cook, connect and spend
quality time together.
Redefine text(ing) – Demonstrate
the basics by cooking alongside
them. Start by teaching them to
read a recipe all the way through.
Show them the importance of
paying attention to measuring and
the difference between ingredients.
And, be sure to touch on the
importance of food safety with
hand washing and proper handling
of raw foods such as eggs, meat
and poultry.
Celebrate success – Encourage
and celebrate their culinary
creations and remember it’s the
effort, not the outcome that’s
important. Remember that even the
simplest of time spent together in
the kitchen can turn into the best of
memories.
