Cooking with Kittycat

The joy of cooking together

I often ask my kids to cook with me. That doesn’t mean that the meal is ready sooner—quite the contrary. But the plus side is that I get to spend time with them and teach them little by little about cooking and healthy eating. This was something I started doing very early on by pulling their highchairs close to the counter so they could look at, smell, touch, and taste different ingredients. I don’t do this every day, of course, but I do try to see it as a game rather than a chore. This cookbook was inspired by that very line of thinking. And who better than Kittycat to help you instil a love of cooking in your children! Sure, you’ll have to contend with curious little fingers and incessant chatter, and you’ll have to repeat the instructions over and over, but Kittycat is here to help. Besides, none of that will matter when you see your children fill with pride after preparing a dish “all by themselves” (or almost).
