Ideas For Cooking With Kids

Author of “French Kids Eat everything” and “Getting to Yum,” Karen Le Billon shares her tips on training kids to love a variety of food.

Taste training is a hands-on, practical approach to food education that uses games, routines, progressive recipes (the ‘flavor ladder’) and fun activities to help children learn to like healthy foods.

One way to provide your child with options without spending your entire day cooking is to create meals with a ‘buffet’ of options that allow both adults and children to ‘personalize’ their meals.
