Just found a great post, on the What’s Cooking Blog called Can They Do It? Yes They Can!
It contains a great list of age-appropriate cooking skills that children can do AND it is written by a saint (e.g., she teaches children’s cooking classes).
I have my little chefs in the kitchen with me all the time and try to find ways to allow them to help. Her list is great, and it made me think of some additional tasks that I haven’t included my kids in on - like picking the ingredients so that they can begin developing the ability to put recipes together. 
This week my little 3 (almost 4) year old was able to help me cook Beef Stroganoff for daddy’s birthday dinner by slicing the mushrooms using a pastry scraper. For my little chefs - it is ALL about the vegetable slicing.
I need to look into this to see if any one teaches Mommy and me cooking classes in the local West Palm Beach area…or maybe I should start one!!
Hmmm…need a bigger kitchen.
Hi Shannon,
Thanks for telling people about my list of ideas for ways parents can cook with their kids
Seriously…let me know if you would like to teach with us!!! We get requests for our classes all over the country.
Keep up your good work with your kids in the kitchen. You rock!
