It paid off, too; my daughter now lives in a college apartment, and her neighbors are jealous because she and her roommate actually cook. My kids cooked with me when they were younger.

This has been a great way to introduce different vegetables and also reduces the stress at dinner getting her to eat vegies. Also she is now a whizz at breaking eggs. Interesting my 5 year old son is not that keen on helping cook dinner but loves to watch cooking shows with me, particularly Nigella and the boys from Surfing the Menu (an Aussie production) and then we pick a recipe we have seen and try to cook it in the next couple of days and he insists on helping this time. However when Nigella cooked 'pea and mozeralla soup' he suggested not to make that for him!
