this blog made me smile :)looking back at my childhood, i wish my mom had spent time with me in the kitchen. i have no culinary skills whatsoever, and now that i’m married, i find this to be frustrating. been surfing around for newbie-friendly recipes and was lucky enough to stumble upon your blog.

i’m a big fan of chocolate covered strawberries and i can’t wait to try the nuked toblerone bit for a quick sugar fix. no need to prep the fondue.. thanks for the great tip!

LOL! our kitchen is a constant explosion everytime the girls and I get in there too :) My hubby is the clean up person, and he hates it!

I agree with you about the sweet spaghetti, we have those here in the south too, with overcooked mushy pasta at that. My kids were raised on homemade pasta sauce with al dente noodles that is why to this day, they won’t eat cafeteria lunch at their school and bring their lunches instead.

And MM, you are a great dad to putter around with 5 girls in the kitchen :D

Cooking is really a bonding time for parents and their children.

We also learn many things from our kids. They are really creative.

I missed that part of my childhood, parent and child cooking together. Great post to read. I hope to raise my kids with enough time in the kitchen.

I just had to laugh when you said that the kitchen was a complet disaster area. That certainly is familiar to me. ;)
Good to know that your daughter is learning a lot from you just from seeing you cook and bake. Teaching by example is truly the best way to make them learn. :)

hi! i’m very happy to learn that such a site exists… and i’m glad that there are people willing to teach and eager to learn about cooking and baking. i’ve just opened a baking supplies shop in pasig city (address: #363 Dr. Sixto Antonio Avenue cor. Liwayway St., Caniogan, Pasig City; call us at 6412561) and we will be conducting some free (or a minimum charge) baking seminars to primarily help those who would like to establish their own business :) hope that some of your readers will be able to visit our shop and join in our baking demonstrations :) goodluck!

It’s great that Lasang Pinoy would think of cooking with kids as their theme this time. Children should be educated early on about proper food. A lot of parents complain to me that their children never eat anything other than fast food (or hotdog, fried chicken, etc.)! Uhmmm, could it be because that’s all they know? Parents often underestimate a child’s capacity to appreciate ‘real’ food.

Ironically, processed foods that are marketed directly towards children are some of the worst things you could feed them. Fresh, unadulterated food that you cook yourself is always best.

I remember one day in culinary school, I was surprised to see the premises full of energetic six year olds. The chef-instructor must have seen my puzzled expression and explained to me that it was semaine du gout! Loosely translated, week of taste. It was a program to educate the youngster’s palate about different tastes and cuisines. What a wonderful sight it was- young children invading the kitchens of the Ritz to learn about food. How haughty can you get, huh? hehehe. Only in Paris!

The closest thing we have in local schools is a field trip to (where else?)a fast food restaurant kitchen or a soda factory.
