WHAT’SFORDINNER<br />
Get Kids<br />
Cooking!<br />
Anyone who is familiar with this column knows that I<br />
am a huge fan of teaching kids how to cook. So when<br />
I heard that Touchwood Editions (the Victoria-based<br />
publisher behind my cookbook, Fermenting Made Simple) was<br />
putting out a kid-focused cookbook, I was super excited!<br />
Let’s Eat is a cookbook written for tweens and teens. It offers<br />
real food recipes, like spaghetti Bolognese and chicken pot<br />
pie, along with beginner-friendly basics on how to cook eggs,<br />
rice and potatoes. The authors, DL Acken and Aurelia Louvet,<br />
are Salt Spring residents behind a lot of BC-based food writing<br />
(Edible Vancouver <strong>Island</strong>, Cedar and Salt).<br />
Food deskilling is when someone doesn't have the skills<br />
needed to cook healthy food from scratch. It’s a global problem<br />
linked to poor dietary choices and subsequent health problems.<br />
While the huge amount of processed foods available in our grocery<br />
stores is partly to blame, the main reason for food deskilling<br />
is that kids are no longer being taught how to cook.<br />
Here are a few recipes that can help you get your kids cooking!<br />
