Observing, and trying it on your own, and having experiences like this
morning. When people go to school to be a chef they get a text book, and
then they go to class the teacher shows them how, and then they all practice
till they get it. We could all probably tell a few cooking disasters, and we
probably never did it again. Practice makes permanent so the more you do it
the better you get. It is kind of a science at the same time.

She is quite the cook already, but what I wanted from this post was the
ideas of others who have taught their children techniques, how they did it.
You are right, Gab has learned from watching me and I must be a good cook,
as my daughter is pretty darn good.  She got up early this morning, heated
the pan and cracked her egg in.  what she failed to do was spray the pan,
all of a sudden I heard, "awww," and I said, "forgot to spray the pan?"
We both laughed as you know it, been there, done that.
So basically, teaching is just observing?

The best way to teach is to let them watch you, try on their own their own
even if they fale, and to read kids cook books as they usually give very kid
friendly language, and explanations with word and pictures. Your daughter is
quite the chef already, but communities also often have kids cooking classes
she might enjoy.

Hello, I know that I am not the only mom or dad here that teaches our
children to cook.  I want to know some of your methods when teaching your
kiddos how to do this or that in your kitchens.  Gab had to learn to flip a
fried egg on her own, I cannot do it to save my life!
