When Kids Cook

Read Isaiah 1-3

Isaiah 1:2 "Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me."

Teaching kids to cook is a messy business. Cooking is messy enough, but when we add little ones trying to learn, it can seem like it’s not worth the effort.

But when kids learn to cook, it helps to empower them. They’re learning survival skills and we’re passing our experience and the wisdom we learned from those who taught us on to them.

It also teaches them math and science: if we want to double a recipe, how much sugar do we need to double the three-quarter cup on the original recipe, or what happens when we add two tablespoons of vinegar to the two teaspoons of baking soda we already added to the bowl? That way, kids get to eat their math and science lessons and makes learning practical as well as fun.
