Meatball pastry puffs and a dip for crisps: Yotam Ottolenghi's recipes for cooking with kids
Briefly

Cooking with kids is often portrayed as harmonious and joyful, but reality can differ significantly. To improve the experience, engage children actively with tasks like rolling or squeezing, and choose finger foods that give them a sense of ownership. Additionally, time cooking to avoid hunger-induced frustration, and be prepared with favorite flavors to ensure a positive atmosphere.
Employing small hands in cooking can lead to a more enjoyable experience, especially when tasks allow for tactile engagement. Choosing foods that can be served in individual portions, like cookies or mini pastries, sets kids up for success by letting them feel a sense of agency. Planning ahead and avoiding cooking during hunger crises is also crucial for a smoother cooking session.
