WHy kids should
learn to cook
It is important for kids to get in the kitchen and learn to cook. Cooking not only builds confidence and prepares a kid for difficult life situations, but it also teaches them to think on their feet. It also develops the same type of discipline as any form of sports or martial arts. Let's take a look at some of the reasons for kids to start cooking early!
​
-
They learn about nutrition and healthy eating
-
Cooking is a life skill
-
Cooking boosts their self esteem
-
Kids will be more receptive to eat what they make.
-
Cooking will help reinforce subjects like science, language, math and creativity while cooking!
-
Children can learn to work together as a team
-
Creates more family time and bonding
​
As your children learn to cook, they are learning a powerful tool to take control of their own health. Teaching kids to cook even teaches them the value of money, since cooking at home is far less expensive than eating out. Buying processed foods at the supermarket is more expensive than buying food you prepare at home, too—and usually not as healthy.
About Us
You may be wondering, why cooking and/or baking? Well, they are a great investment for your child’s future as it’s an essential life skill. Today, there are young adults who struggle to even cook a packet of instant noodles!
​
Kids who cook become adults who cook and eat healthier than those who don’t. Cooking plant-based meals with your kids not only brings your family together, but it can also give them the gift of a lifetime of health and well-being.
