Cooking basics for children and for students of any age with learning challenges. Easy to understand icons with limited wording and measuring. Fun quizzes and games teach life skills. This book is also designed as a primer for adult group leaders who desire to show children the basics of cooking. Each recipe in this book features instructions for group preparation, with a list of supplies needed for each recipe. Generally, children are invited to help in the kitchen with making cookies and desserts; but often they lack the knowledge and skills to prepare a basic meal. So, how will they learn to make a quick dinner or a nutritious snack? Will they be able to handle a grease fire, or hold a knife properly? How will they know what certain cooking terms mean? This book provides a fun and easy-to-follow approach to teaching children the basics of cooking. Through preparing simple recipes (many don't even require measuring) and playing thinking games about safety, kitchen terminology, and nutrition, children gain skills that will last them a lifetime. In working through the lessons in this book, children will become comfortable and confident preparing food in the kitchen, no matter what the occasion
