My 5 year old daughter and I have a great time in the kitchen. She loves the fact that now she's big enough to help mummy make things. Usually a big mess but where's the fun if there's no mess. We have an understanding where she gets to do all the preparing and cleaning up but I will be in control of the cooker. In my ...  Read the complete review

My partner and I have 4 children between us aged from 10 to 14. We try to eat as a family at least 5 nights a week, usually a home cooked from scratch meal. One Wednesday, having made a special effort and cooked on this occasion three separate meals, all the kids did was moan and groan about the food. I announced that the next day I was going on ...  Read the complete review

I love cooking and the messier it is the better. I believe every child/person should know basic food hygiene, nutrition and cookery. I once had to teach a friend the same age as myself how to cook an omelette and the father of my child didn't know what a leek was or how to cook it. I don't believe you can expect a child to eat ...  Read the complete review

When I saw this catagory had no guidelines written under it the title was too tempting for me not to respond to. You see the first thing I thought of was "Yes Please". There's the washing up, the cleaning of the oven, the use of the washing machine and the dreaded mopping of the laminate so take your pick kids. Seriously ...  Read the complete review

Ok before I get all of you going ‘when did katygriff have a child and how did she possibly get through over one hundred reviews without mentioning them’ I think I have to mention that I haven’t myself got children but I have got plenty of memories and experience that are relevant to this topic so I thought I would write them down and attempt to ...  Read the complete review

This is a wonderful experience for both parents & children alike, where else is it ok for you both to make a mess and it have a great outcome. It strengthens the bond between parent and child as well as making the child aware of what goes on in the kitchen. From experience I would say as it was done with me by my grandmother I ...  Read the complete review

Well, what can I say about having your kids in the kitchen! I have done this a lot with my 4-year-old son and not so much with my 2-year-old daughter and even less with both of them BUT on the times that I have done it they have loved every minute of it. After the first couple of times cooking with the kids I realised things were going ...  Read the complete review

As soon as you can, start to include children in your cooking. By that I don’t mean use them as ingredients, tempting as it might be some days! My son has always been part of the whole cooking, eating, food process. When he was just a few days old we went shopping and I was chatting to him about what I was going to cook and what I needed to buy. I ...  Read the complete review

Since the introduction of the National Curriculum many schools are struggling to fit in all the required lessons such as literacy and numeracy and these days there doesn't seem to be a great deal of time set aside for the children to participate in fun activities such as pottery and cooking. Like many Mum's these days I work and ...  Read the complete review

The phone looked inviting, as it hung on the ...  Read the complete review

I know this is not really the place for this opinion. But I wanted to warn parents about some pitfalls with Walker's crisps and other snack foods. When Kids go to the kitchen 9 times out of 10 they emerge with a snack of some sort. I found this out about crisps, Coke and other carbo snack treats. So how do I write something that will ...  Read the complete review

What do you get if you put me, my two boys, the kitchen, and food together? Yep, a bomb site. Every year we have kids birthday parties, both my boys always help, they love it. First we get the pinnies out, yes, I wear a pinny, in fact I now am the proud owner of a 'Douglas pinny', courtesy of the douglas web site. Enough about ...  Read the complete review

It is never too early to let your child help you in the kitchen and learn safety in the kitchen. Start with the drying up of the spoons and advance from there. They will love doing it and not look on it as a chore. At the same time explain to them some of the dangers in the kitchen and that they should not do anything without an ...  Read the complete review
