Being interested in food and cooking for yourself is the key to raising children who do the same.


Give them kitchen jobs. Even the smallest could be in charge of chopping parsley: put the leaves in a cup and give her a pair of scissors. With the blades in the cup she can keep snipping the herbs as small as possible.


Talking about food gives it signifi cance. Get children smelling spices and tasting diff erent liquids – lemon, lime and grapefruit juice, say. Try a blindfold test.


While shopping make good use of their natural curiosity and discuss everyday items. Toddlers can choose vegetables and fruits.


Learning respect for blades is vital. Teach children how to hold a knife and use it under supervision.


It’s fi ne to make cakes and biscuits sometimes, but get children masking savouries too. Start with avocado dip or houmous, with sticks of cucumber, peppers, carrot and bread. Kindly supplied by Wee Acorns Nursery
