I really really want to cook with my kids, but it is usually faster to just do it myself. As much as I want to, I know I will not, without a curriculum, be intentional to do this. We did the knife video and the kids LOVED it. I was amazed at how much they learned!!! And how well they applied it at dinner prep that night!
