I really love to cook because I also love to eat. It is a very special thing to share good food with your friends and family.

My mom lets me help in the kitchen with her; I get to wear chef clothes and a chef hat. The chef hat is called a toque and it is pretty cool.

My most favorite food is…I don’t know, I love it all! I even love fresh peas with a bit of butter on them and steamed broccoli with a lot of lemon juice, which I get to squeeze of course! Fruits and grains, pastas with lovely sauces on them and cheese lots of different kinds of cheese, except the stinky kind of cheese, I don’t like that. Bread, eggs, meat and fish all make wonderful things to eat. It is also fun to learn about these ingredients and how to cook them so they are the yummiest.

I love to feel dough and make biscuits and bread. I think that is even better than the feel of play do. It is fun to watch the food cook on the stove and stir, stirring is a very important job. I need to make sure that whatever is in the pot is not burning on the bottom and is happy! Mom lets me look through the window of the oven and watch the muffins pop up just so- it’s like magic, poof! The smell of good things cooking makes me so hungry-it is hard to wait until it is time to eat. Sometimes I even burn my tongue a little, because I just can’t wait! There are many wonderful things about cooking and helping in the kitchen. I learn fun cooking skills and learn about the different places that food comes from. I get to hear the stories of recipes from far away places and why people eat some very weird things, like snails! (They really do!!) It is like taking a trip everyday. I can’t wait for you to join me!
