Quarantine for COVID-19 has forced many summer camps to postpone or cancel, leaving parents wondering what to do all summer! The kids from Kids Cook Real Food, an online cooking class just for kids, encourage parents to get their kids in the kitchen at home this summer with a "cooking camp" at home! Kids really can learn authentic kitchen skills, give back to their family and be inspired to not only cook healthy food, but eat it too.Even toddlers and preschoolers can help -- Gabe, age 3, demonstrates how he uses a dull knife to slice a banana and make monkey salad for breakfast (sliced bananas, nuts or seeds, unsweetened coconut and optional milk on top).John, age 6, is learning sharp knife skills this year and cuts celery with a paring knife to make ants on a log, a healthy snack. With the big chef's knife, 9-year-old Leah cuts carrots and red pepper and makes a homemade ranch dip with sour cream.And with his favorite recipe, a homemade cheese sauce, Paul, age 13, shows how kids can contribute to the family dinner or a great potluck dish when mixed with ground beef and salsa for nachos! We're excited to share our 10-minute knife skills and safety class FREE at https://kidscookrealfood.com/summercamp - use it as a summer cooking camp in your own home with any age child and teach them basic cooking skills that will last a lifetime!
