The joy of cooking with your kids 

Cooking is a wonderful way to bond with your kids

Who says cooking is a chore? Turn it into a fun and learning experience for your kids. Whip up a lip-smacking meal along with your kids and see what a joyous experience it's.

Bonding time: Cooking time gives a chance to bond with your kids. Kids while being a part of cooking session with parents, feel involved and responsible. It's also a time to strike an intimate rapport with them and know what's going in their mind and lives. It is relaxing when the entire family involved.

Knowing about different cuisine and cultures: Food shows in television have brought the world into our kitchens. But when you cook together, try out new recipes, it's a new learning experience. Tell stories regarding a particular cuisine or origins of food traditions. Cooking helps children learn about different cultures and that's a wonderful way to learn. In India, we have so many different kind of regional cuisines and cooking dishes from different parts of the country gives a chance to the kids to broaden their mind and understanding geography, traditions, festivals, availability of local ingredients and more.

A sense of confidence and self-esteem: Cooking gives a sense of accomplishment. It's a joy when you make a delicious dish. It boosts one's self-esteem and gives a sense of confidence. So, when your kids join you in the kitchen it's a happy occasion that will also create memories for all times to come. In cooking, one needs to use one's senses, so it's a good practical lesson too
