Teaching Kids How To Cook http://www.foodandculture.info/2015/05/teaching-kids-how-to-cook/ http://www.foodandculture.info/2015/05/teaching-kids-how-to-cook/#respond Wed, 13 May 2015 11:14:48 +0000 http://www.foodandculture.info/?p=1499  photo unnamed_zpscy02keua.jpg

Teaching your kids how to cook will not only help equip them for a healthier, simpler life once they leave home – but it’s actually a really great way to help them learn. Kids who can cook develop confidence and self-assurance, and a greater understanding of the world in a range of ways. Here are just some of the reasons you should teach your kids to be little masterchefs!

Responsibility

Kids love the opportunity to feel grown-up, and cooking “just like mum and dad” makes kids feel really special. Give him the opportunity to do as much as possible by himself – if they’re closely supervised and activities are age-appropriate you’ll be surprised at how responsible kids can be.

Measurement and volume

Understanding measurement and volume is made simple when baking. A clear measuring jug makes things easy to see. Try using a variety of implements when measuring: cups, jugs, spoons, scales – just so children can help understand. Making a ‘pound cake’ can also be a great help – showing children how different amounts of substances (butter, sugar, flour) can look different, but still weigh the same.

Nutrition

It’s surprising how a fussy kid will try a new food when it’s something he’s cooked himself. Give your child the option of two different veggies to include with dinner, find a recipe and let him help cut and cook up the vegetable – and hopefully try it all afterwards. Cooking helps children understand why we eat the foods we do – what foods go well together, and what we need to include for a balanced meal.

Increases self-esteem

There’s nothing like a sense of achievement to improve self-esteem. Cooking is a great way too boost children’s confidence as the results are quick – and there for the whole family to enjoy. Remember to step back and let them him to do things by himself – after showing him the safest way to do everything of course!

Shrimp cocktail is a classic American dish. It is among the most popular appetizers, and for good reason: It’s simple, refined, and delicious. Even if you’ve never cooked shrimp cocktail before, it’s not that hard, especially if you remember a few simple tricks.

This easy shrimp cocktail recipe starts by bringing water, wine, lemon, parsley, bay leaves, and peppercorns to a boil. The liquid is then removed from the heat and the shrimp tossed in to gently poach. We skip the fussy ice bath and opt for easy cooling on a baking sheet. While the shrimp chill in the fridge, mix up a simple, classic horseradish cocktail sauce for dipping.

When purchasing shrimp, the most reliable way to determine sizing is by the “count,” or number of shrimp per pound. This recipe can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Now you can get a taste of the sea with this refreshing shrimp cocktail, complete with cocktail sauce.

 photo e0a7fb63-b5c8-4a5a-aee2-2d9e618437c3_zps9f022d63.jpg

The main advantage of grilling food is that it is healthier as compared to other methods used to prepare meat. The reason most people prefer grilled meat is that less fat is used, hence is healthy because certain pieces of pork and beef have high fat content. 

Grilling is a healthy alternative since it doesn’t deplete the flavor and tenderness of meat and vegetables.  Grilled meat has a natural taste without depleting essential nutrients. While grilling continues to prove to be a fantastically healthy method of preparing food, it’s still important to make sure that you know exactly what you are putting into your body and ensure that you have cooked it properly.
