In my family, there are very few females or
males of any age who are not
exceptional cooks or at least
passionate about food. We love/like
to get together and cook or compare recipes. Although I am
sure that there are some genetics involved, there is something
to be said for 'nurture' in
this case. Not only do we all hang around our mothers' kitchens
every day, we also gather/meet
several times a year around spreads of food that would impress
even the world's greatest gourmand. Most importantly, however,
is that we have been involved in cooking from a
young age.
From the time when it was safe to assume that
their lives were not in danger, my cousins, Adeline
and Ann, were required to
make/prepare dinner every Friday
evening/night.
Although their first meals were certainly bordering
on being inedible, they
quickly learnt from the experiences and
are now some of the
best/better cooks in the family.
You, too, can get your child
interested/involved in cooking. For example, have
them watch in the kitchen as
you prepare dinner. You can also buy aesthetically pleasing
cookbooks like Nigella Bites by Nigella Lawson, or any other
publications. You can also assign
a day for your child to cook and reward him by allowing him to
decide the menu for the
dinner selection. Take note that if your child is very young,
give him a safe job like squeezing
lemons or tenderizing chicken. |
