Dear Parents of Future Chefs,

If I told you that your picky eaters could become good cooks and learn to love all kinds of food that they've prepared themselves, would you believe me? 

If I said that you and your kids could have a fun time in the kitchen while they learn important life skills, would you ask how?

What if you could have a night off from cooking but not spend your hard earned money on take out, would you say, "Sign me up!"?

You may be like me, a busy mom, who's grown tired of picky eaters, bored kids, and fast food. Now there's a way to solve these problems; please let me explain...

My kids were 8 and 10 when I realized that they really didn't know how to cook and I was doing it all. This was no good - I was either wearing myself out making hurried and boring meals that they were tired of, or we were ordering delivery pizza and doing fast food. Plus, my kids weren't learning an important skill to help them through life. 

It was time to get serious about cooking yet have a good time with it. I searched high and low and couldn't find many recipes geared towards these in-between years, so I decided to start a newsletter with easy kid-friendly recipes and fun ideas. Cookin' Kids Newsletter was born and has been going strong since 2003! No more kids staring into the fridge and whining about nothing to eat. No more bored kids with nothing to do. No more empty cookie jar. :)

I must say that I think it is a great idea to get kids interested in cooking. What better way is there to encourage families to spend more time together than cooking together? Thank you so much for creating a great site and newsletter for kids and adults alike. - Nicole in WI

Cookin' Kids Newsletter is a great newsletter.  I have two kids, age 7 and 9 that actually love to cook.   Your simple recipes and their big imaginations have made for some interesting meals.  The jokes are great too :-).  Now if we could only find a good way to clean the kitchen after we are done!   - Steve in Fairfax, VA

The best way for kids to learn to cook is to have them jump in and start cooking with easy recipes. Cookin' Kids Newsletter involves your children in the total cooking experience. With each bi-monthly newsletter your child will get:

 An interesting theme to jump-start their interest

 7 or more delicious kid-friendly recipes that you can make together or they can do on their own, depending on their ability

 Fun facts about the theme

 Interesting quotes

 Safety tips

 Cooking definitions

 A game such as a word search, crossword puzzle, or matching challenge

 Kid-appropriate jokes and silly clipart

 At least 1 recipe sent in by a reader, plus a section for readers' letters or a  food poll. Your child's participation is highly encouraged!

 Book and website suggestions to take the kids a little farther on the theme
 

My son received his first newsletter and he is thrilled!  - Jean in Henderson, KY

Talk about playing with your food!

Each newsletter has a theme and takes a light look at bits of history, or a foreign country, or certain types of food.  Here's a peek at some of the themes your child may receive:

 These Cowboy recipes will make them giddy-up back to the old west!

 In this issue, your kids will explore Native American cooking and
   discover what they used for bowls.

 They'll learn what the word Cajun means while their jambalaya simmers.

 Kids like to "hold the hail" and "throw it in the mud" at their 1950s Diner.

 What they'll find in the Hawaii issue - some strange names for some really
   good food! 

 These signature dishes of Seattle are worth exploring!

 Kids love cookies, but where did cookies get their start and what were
   they originally called?

 Your kids learn how to keep their food safe at a picnic.

 Who can ever get enough Mexican food? 

 They'll travel to Russia and discover some fun facts while trying the food.

 How was pizza invented? This issue tells them. Plus, there's more
   to Italian food than just pizza!

Happy Cookin' Adventures,

Peggy Baron

P.S. Please let me know what you think! I never get tired of hearing about all the triumphs with your children in the kitchen.  I also love hearing about how your child's confidence has grown, how they're better organized, and how their natural creativity has given flight in the kitchen. Have fun with it!  Someday they'll be inviting you over for a scrumptious feast at their house. Can't you just picture it? 

P.P.S. Don't you always feel good when your kids learn to master something? Anything from learning to talk to learning to ride a bike without training wheels? Well, seeing your kids cooking in the kitchen with you will give you that same feeling.
