    Home Cooking Lessons for Kids

    Pesto Pizza

    When teaching kids to cook, the best possible advice is to let them get involved with any safe, simple tasks they’re likely to enjoy.

    It probably goes without saying, but cooking lessons for kids should always directly involve them as much as possible. The more hands-on they get with the food, the more excited they’ll be about the process of cooking, and the more likely they’ll be to get inspired with their own culinary ideas in due course.

    With that in mind, here are two incredibly simple recipes that can serve as introductory home cooking lessons for kids. Both are quick and easy to make, and children from ages 6 and up can directly (and safely) help you out while preparing them. Better yet, they can’t really go too far wrong with either of them, so you’ll all enjoy sampling the results!

    French Bread Pesto Chicken Pizzas

    French Bread Pesto Chicken ‘Pizzas’

    These are more like hot open sandwiches than pizzas per se, but they have a distinct pizza flavour thanks to the tomatoes, mozzarella and pesto/olive oil combination. Moreover, they’re fun and easy for kids to assemble on their own before baking, and you don’t need to go to the trouble of making a dough for the bases. A win-win!

    Makes enough for 4 people. Serve with a small green side salad for extra vitamins.

    Oven-baked Healthier Fish & Chips

    Oven-baked Healthier Fish & Chips

    Few kids (or adults, for that matter!) will turn their noses up at fish and chips - and they’re likely to be even more keen if they can pitch in with helping to make it. This is a pleasingly messy one to assemble, so have a roll of kitchen paper at the ready, and let them enjoy dunking and coating their own fish fillets ready to bake.

    Makes enough for 2-4 people, depending on required portion size.
