Easy recipes - get the whole family cooking - Food - Cooking Tips

It is important that children are taught to cook as early as possible. After all, learning a few easy recipes when they are young will mean your kids are more likely to continue to cook when they are adults.

And living on home cooking, as opposed to ready meals and takeaways, means they are likely to be healthier and happier when they are grown up.

What's more, children generally enjoy cooking - in fact virtually everyone experiences immense satisfaction after eating a meal they have prepared and eaten themselves.

If you are teaching young children to cook, you should start with some very easy recipes - and probably biscuits or cakes are your best bet. After all, enjoying a sweet snack after cooking will make it seem like more of a treat.

Cookies can be made using a variety of ingredients, which is an easy way to show your helpers how a dish can be made completely different just by changing one key element.

For example, white chocolate cookies are completely different from those made using milk chocolate chips, fruit, or a combination of two.

Also, if one of your children has a birthday coming up, serving up a homemade cake will make the day that little bit more special than simply buying one.

No doubt, your children's favourite part of the baking process will be icing and decorating their masterpiece, as they can be really creative here and add an extra hint of personality to the cake.

How happy will you and your children be when you see how well the biscuits or cakes that they have made go down? Cooking at home is a very satisfying experience, especially when they see their dishes being enjoyed by others.

Of course, you can't live on cakes and biscuits alone. Once your children have become a little bit more confident in the kitchen, they will be eager to help with more savoury dishes.

While you may not be happy to let them chop any vegetables until they are a good bit older and able to do it without supervision, they can still do a lot to help produce certain easy recipes such as salads.

While you cut the vegetables, they can make sure that everything is thoroughly washed and they may enjoy arranging the vegetables into a pattern of different colours.

You may also want to teach your children to prepare a simple salad dressing, as this does not require anything to be cut, but it does add a new element to a salad.

All in all, cooking easy recipes together is a wonderful way to pass on skills to your children - skills they will value forever.
