Enabling children to interact with food and take part in the cooking process is a great way to capture their attention. How much they take away from this experience is up to you. With so many fun, educational facts about food to share and so many ways to do so, there are no limits to what your cooking session can teach your child! I hope you will use the ideas, information and recipes in this cookbook to instill healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime.
