Cook
ROSEMONT, IL Nothing
transcends the generation gap like
grandparents and their grandkids.
Even if today’s seniors are more
energetic, affluent, sophisticated
and well traveled, chances are
they’re traditional in their all-out
affection for their grandchildren.
Moms may not cook the way
they used to and ditto for Grams,
but an encounter in the kitchen is
still a warm way for the genera
tions to come together. It takes
just a little thought to make cook
ing sessions with kids education,
meaningful and memorable. First,
select several recipes (that taste
good, of course) and let your
grandchild make the final choic
es.
Next, some rules that
lay the foundation for good safety
and organizational skills. They
might include:
Safety first! Instill a healthy
respect for sharp knives and hot
ranges. Talk about using hot
pads, turning saucepan handles
away from the edge of the stove
and keeping towels and pot hold-

Wash hands! Emphasize
hand-washing before cooking and
often during the process, espe
cially after scraping the bowl
clean and licking your fingers.
(Why does buttery dough taste so
good unbaked?)
Clean Up! Make sure that the
young cook understands that part
of cooking is cleaning up as-you
go and afterwards. Point out that
spills are easier mopped up
before given a chance to set.
With these essentials under
stood, your involvement depends
a lot on the age of the child.
Throw in some kitchen terms
when appropriate. Explain the
value of good ingredients
fresh real butter or cheese, for
example. Talk about the differ
ence between melting and sim
mering/boiling when melting the
butter to make the Blondies in the
following recipe. Explain baking
versus broiling when putting the
oatmeal Raisin Biscuit dough in
the oven.

And whenever possible, fol
low a hands-on philosophy. Let
the kids knead the biscuit dough,
pointing out that too much knead
ing can lead to tough biscuits, but
let them knead the dough scraps
to their hearts’ content. Most of
all, keep it fun.
