Cooking with Kids

Cooking with kids is so much fun! 😃 (Minus the mess afterwards, which can be less messy if the child is old enough to ensure less mess.)

My son loves to cook. When he was around 2, he would be with me in the kitchen as I cook because there is no safer place for him to be. Our kitchen is right at the back of the house and the door would be closed when we cook. 

Soon, he developed some interest in cooking and would tell me what he would love to try out and I would see if it could be done. 

Here, he was 5 years old and wanted to try to cook his favourite salmon fish. We made some salmon burgers. 

THIS WEEK's SPECIAL: Salmon burger

First, lets look at the ingredients needed. 

Ingredients: Salmon fillet, white pepper powder, salt, corn starch, burger buns, tomatoes, slices of cheese. You can use any other ingredients you like such as pickles, lettuce, fresh cucumbers. 

After cleaning the fish, here's what JS did. 

1. He sprinkled some salt and white pepper powder on the fish fillet and coated them with some corn starch. 

2. Next he heated some oil in a pan and arranged the fish fillet in the pan. 

3. While waiting for the fish to cook, we took some photos.

4. After cooking the fish, he placed them on a plate (with mummy's help, of course) and let mummy do the rest... 😱


Here he is, posing with the salmon burger served with cheesy steamed potatoes and carrots.

Side story:

I found out that my son preferred to eat his burger by layers ...?? 😦 I thought those who eat burgers by layers were weird??

My children has thought me to see the world differently.



I am sure your children have tried their hands at cooking or baking. Do share with us your experiences! 😋
