Teaching Kids to Cook by Chef Pharrell

  “Why should kids learn to cook?”

(Besides being lots of fun)

1.  Cooking activitiees help kids make Healthy Food Choices -

Learning to cook helps kids to learn about nutrition and healthy eating. Fun recipes and  experiences introduce kids to great habits that can last a lifetime.

 

2. Boost their Self Esteem. If your child needs a boost of self confidence, (and who doesn't!) cooking in the kitchen will do just that. They are accomplishing a task, learning something important and contributing to the family.

 

3. Kids will be more apt to eat  what they make. Perhaps, it is the enthusiasm that goes along with creating something themselves; but they are more likely to eat whatever

decide to cook and prepare. And more so if they prepare it for family or friends.

 

4. Kids learn life skills. Science, Language, Math and

Creativity- Cooking will help reinforce all these subjects! This can be especially helpful when kids are growing up and first out on their own.  They won't have to rely on fast food and junk food to sustain them.

 

5. Kids get to practice creativity and use their imagination. Kids cooking activities are a great way to express

themselves and enjoy their creations, away from the television and the phone.

Kitchen Safety for Jr. Chefs by Chef Pharrell My Cool Kid Cooks, San Diego, CA

Safely handling raw meats is an important lesson to learn for Jr. Chefs

Teaching our Jr. Chefs to enjoy cooking is important but safety is a priority in the kitchen.  All lessons must begin with a review of safety rules.  Rules for Chefs are like rules for driving, they become second nature; but they keep us safe.

 1.  If you are ill, be courteous and use proper precautions when handling food and drinks.

3.  Clean all veggies and fruit separately from raw meats and poultry  and eggs.  Use separate cutting boards and clean in them in the dishwasher.

4. Always clean items that were in contact with raw meats and eggs immediately after using.

5. No licking mixing spoon or fingers/ use sample spoons only for tasting

6. Check stove top and oven before moving away.

7. Always point handles to the side on stove top to prevent accidental burns and spills.

7. Keep appliances away from sink when operating.

9. Prevent accidental spills by putting ingredients and tools away after using to keep working area clear. 

10. Always have adults close by when working in the kitchen
