kids cooking for kids

This video was shot by a dad, showing his 12-year-old son cooking shrimp stir-fry for his friends. I think that encouraging children to participate in meal preparation gives them incentive to try new foods; they want to find out if they're good cooks!

What a great idea! You have a good point; if kids help out with cooking they want to try what they made, even if it uses ingredients they may not normally like. I think that teachers could do something like this with their students when they were studying nutrition, maybe even using recipes the students came up with themselves.
