KIDS’ KITCHEN

HOW TO USE OUR GUIDE

These recipes are suitable for children aged seven to 11, but younger children can also get involved with support from an adult. Older children and teenagers can also enjoy making these recipes, and may want to adapt or further develop them, swapping in their favourite ingredients or adding extra spices to make them their own.

The step-by-step recipes come with clear lists of ingredients and equipment so they’re easy to follow, and there are three to support each new skill: a basic recipe, one that’s more of a challenge and another for advanced mini chefs. Talk through and practice the cooking skill with your child before making the dishes.

Follow this collection of monthly recipes as you would a cookery course, making each recipe with your child to help develop their skills and confidence. Send us pictures of what you’ve been cooking at [email protected] or tag us using #GFKidsKitchen.
