Over the next five weeks we will be sharing two recipe videos each week that are perfect to cook with children. My thinking in planning this was: ⭐️ Easy entertainment and they learn some life skills ⭐️ You get dinner cooked one night a week! Win win! I hope that this little course will be a start in teaching your kids about food and cooking, as well as something to keep everyone occupied in the long summer holiday. The recipes will all be relatively straightforward to help young ones get to grips with the basics. Each week you’ll be able to find a main course and treat for you to enjoy.We will be sharing these recipes on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. I would love for you to join me there and show us your creations. ✅ Always be careful when using sharp knives and cooking with heat while cooking with children. ✅ Let them take the lead where possible, especially with weighing out ingredients as this is all part of the learning! Talk them through it and keep things fun. ✅ Don’t worry if the results are not perfect. This is about giving it a go, spending time together and picking up some new food knowledge. Cooking is all about trial and error. ✅ It’s probably best not to start your cooking session while the kids are already hungry as it might not turn out well. Planning ahead will help to make it an easier experience.✅ Don’t be too disappointed if young children can’t concentrate on the whole task and get fed up. Just introducing them to cooking and piquing their interest in the first place is enough, and keeping things relaxed will only add to their positive association with cooking and food in general. A £5 donation will provide a child with 3 home cooked meals in a safe, welcoming environment when they may have gone hungry otherwise. FoodCycle is a national charity, based upon the simple idea that food waste and food poverty should not co-exist and that something powerful can be achieved through eating together. Every week, they open their doors and give a warm welcome to 1500 guests, across 41 projects, to enjoy a tasty and nutritious three-course meal in their local community.
