When we empower young kids to make their own choices in the kitchen, they are not just helping a new generation to become confident cooks and engaged eaters, but they also learn to be curious experimenters as they learn how to feel, safety, measure, taste, and judge — skills that are required to become a practical human being when they grow up.

Learning to work safely around the kitchen, following instructions and using a judgment call, and becoming familiar with different ingredients and utensils are life skills that need to be inculcated in our kids.

These are going to be our future emerging scientists, who will be proud of their accomplishments, and also learn the basic skills around food science while having fun.
