Kids get to mix

WHETHER it’s chopping, stirring, cracking an egg or tasting, children love ‘helping’ in the kitchen, and they are doing so younger.

Most children’s parents learnt to cook at age 10, but children are now learning at age six.

Research by BBC Good Food magazine found that only 40% of parents think their cooking skills were better than their children’s at the same age, and blame this on their less-relaxed parents.
