Zoey is my oldest grandchild. She’s quite intereeted in learning how to cook & we have had several cooking sessions together. Her birthday is the week before Christmas, but I was in Alabama visiting Jim’s family. Then I was sick, then my youngest daughter got sick so we put off Zoey’s birthday celebration.
Birthday gift for the junior chef, Zoey.
Cooking with little ones can be a lot of fun. Done well, you can set them on the road to a lifetime enjoyment of cooking. My family has always encouraged new cooks so I’m just following an old tradition. I have very fond memories of the jam making kit I was given by my Aunt Charlotte when I was 5 or 6. Remembering this, I knew exactly what I wanted to get Zoey for her birthday when I spotted this. Need to be getting it wrapped as we’re going to celbrate her birthday later this week, but had to post a picture.
What new cook wouldn’t be inspired by this lovely gingerbread boy apron? Actually, it came with 2 aprons, so Zoey & I will be cooking in style the next time she comes. Getting her started on her very own cookie cutter collection by adding 2 cutters to the mix. I figured a flower cutter and duck cutters were good ones to start the cutter collection. Two silicon spatulas added to the junior chef’s starter set. I think she’ll love them. I’m anxious to see her in her apron cooking!
