Kids Cuisine

Educating children really hits home when you start having children of your own. I rarely thought of my nephews or nieces schooling, but now that I have a 19-month-old and another one due in November I’m constantly thinking about education.
I mention to my wife about our daughter, Ava, being a chef; it is a reputable […]

I discovered yet another cool way to get your kids interested in cooking (if they’re not already)! It’s called “Cooking Up Fun!” (www.noodleheadfun.com) It’s an imaginative way for parents to combine art and cooking in an activity that’ll surely hold children’s attention, all while helping to inspire and shape their creative skills. Plus, it’s a […]

What’s your child’s favorite snack food? I hope it’s not potato chips or french fries. String cheese is one of my daughter Ava’s all-time hits. She eats it two ways, which I guess depends on how hungry she is. She’ll either take bites from one end to the other, or when she wants to have […]

Two cookbook mentions back to back. This really says something about the attention that’s being paid to kids in the kitchen.
I recently ran across new cookbook that even a 7-year-old could follow. That’s because it was written by a 7-year-old. His name is Max Nania, and he’s said to have “been creating new recipes for […]

My wife, Cathy, and I are expecting our second child this coming November! We’re so excited, and we’ve been reading, again, everything on what to do and not to do—Cathy, mainly. So, while the other writers and I post items for Kids Cuisine about kids’ proper eating habits, I thought I’d quickly mention an important […]

If you have difficulty getting your kids to eat their vegetables or fruit, here’s something you might want to have them try: watermelon. Why? Well, first off it’s fun to eat, especially on a hot summer day after playing in the yard. I honestly can’t recall a child turning down a slice of watermelon.
Second, watermelon […]

I know we’re all swamped with information from every direction, but one web site I visit regularly (and will introduce my daughter to once she’s old enough to read) is KidsHealth . The site is hosted by Nemours, which was founded in 1936 by Alfred duPont, and is dedicated to improving the health and spirit […]

Do your kids like to read? Do they like to cook? Well, I have a book that’s double the fun - “Kids Cook 1-2-3” (Bloomsbury Childrens Books), by three-time James Beard award-winner Rozanne Gold.
This book is absolutely great in introducing young chefs to cooking by using only three ingredients per recipe, with super easy methods. […]

A new treat I’m introducing my daughter to is the whoopie pie. I hope you’re not scratching your head wondering what the heck is a whoopie pie. They’re one of the of tastiest treats on the planet — especially when they’re homemade.
To give you a little history, whoopie pies can be traced back to the […]

I know we talk about eating good food on Kids Cuisine, but I thought it would be worth mentioning, if you haven’t already heard, about Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J) recall of its children’s mouthwash — Listerine Agent Cool Blue plaque-detecting rinse. The two flavors affected are Glacier Mint and Bubble Blast.

According to J&J, the kids’ […]
