Practical Cookery Guide Book for Parents and School Teachers

Cooking with children is a joyful and educational experience that can inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love for healthy and delicious food. As children participate in the kitchen, they not only develop practical cooking skills but also enhance their literacy, numeracy, science, and social-emotional abilities. Cooking can also be a way to explore different cultures, traditions, and values, and to connect with others through food. This book aims to provide practical and evidence-based guidance on how to cook with children in a safe, fun, and meaningful way. It is based on the personal and long experience of the author Dr Anshumali Pandey and various users, who shared their experiences, insights, and questions about cooking with children. The book is organized into chapters that cover different aspects of cooking with children, such as planning, preparation, safety, equipment, recipes, and cultural diversity. Each chapter includes practical tips, examples, and suggestions based on the chat conversations, as well as additional resources and references for further learning. The book is intended for teachers, parents, and caregivers who want to engage children in cooking activities, as well as for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of education, nutrition, and child development. It is not a comprehensive guide or a cookbook, but rather a collection of ideas and experiences that can inspire and inform cooking with children.
