After our last post revealed most Aussie parents struggle to get their kids involved in the kitchen here are five quick tips that could help:
- Decide on a weekly meal plan together – sit down, go through cookbooks and choose at least a couple of meals to prepare together
- Get your kids to write the shopping list
- Invite them to help you do the grocery shopping as this will encourage interest
- Make shopping more exciting by alternating visits to farmers markets or green grocers with trips to the supermarket
- Let them help you mix ingredients, wash vegetables and separate eggs. Gradually increase the complexity of their tasks depending on their age and confidence.
Next time you’re doing the shopping, why not grab a carton of Pauls Zymil and promote a healthier balance for you and your family?
