You know its never too
early to get children into cooking and develop
their interest in good food.
Helping to prepare meals is a sure way of using the
'learning can be fun' principle. Of course we can't
involve them in the dangers of boiling liquids, cooker
flames etc. but there are many preparation jobs that
they will love to help with, especially dishes involving
fruit and vegetables.
As a sweet treat, chocolate dipped fruits are a fun and

delicious
way to involve them, no matter how young. Strawberries are absolutely
gorgeous half-dipped in melted chocolate as are slices of orange
dipped into dark chocolate. Use white chocolate for grapes and
long slices of banana.
If your children are able to eat nuts, dip the chocolate coated
fruit into finely chopped almonds or hazelnuts. Children will
love to serve up their own preparations - and make sure to heap
on the praise when eating their offering.
Many book shops stock really fun 'cooking for children' books,
as will your local library.

MILK
The common pint of milk is often overlooked as an important
dietary requirement, but do not underestimate its value.
Milk is a valuable source of calcium, riboflavin and protein
in the UK diet.
For vegetarians it can be a valuable source of Vitamin B12.
However, vegetarians should not rely on sterilise or UHT milks
for Vitamin B12 as they contain less than pasturised milk.
The carbohydrate in milk is called lactose. It caramelises
during the sterilisation process and changes to lactic acid
during the production yogurt.
Skimming milk reduces its fat content, As a consequence, the
energy and vitamin A are reduces, while the calcium, protein
and B vitamins increase slightly. |
