Little kids cooking

Here are some simple ideas for little ones learning how to cook. Cooking and gardening are two great ways for little kids to learn how to look after themselves and the natural world around them. So here you are:

Lemonade


Lemonade is a great, refreshing drink for hot Summer days.

You will need: two to three lemons, depending on how strong you like it, a spoon, a jug that is more than a litre, half a litre boiling water and half a litre cold water, a juicer and a cup of sugar.

Juice the lemons. Pour the sugar and hot water into the jug and mix. When the sugar has dissolved, let it cool a bit and then add the cold water and lemon juice and stir. If it is still hot then drop in a few ice blocks.

OPTIONAL: If you want, you can add some rose water.

Gardening tip: Lemon trees are evergreens, wich means that they don't lose their leaves in Autumn and winter.





Simple salad:

A salad goes nicely with almost any dinner.

Get your favourite salad greens, some cucumber, some capsicum and some tomato. Put all the ingredients in a salad bowl. Add a couple of drops of olive oil and lemon juice and mix.

OPTIONAL: If you want to, you can sprinkle some saffron powder on top. Saffron is an eddible flower.


Garden tips:
Never plant tomatoes in the same garden-bed twice in a row.






Soft boiled eggs

A great breakfast food, nice with toast.

Get an egg (per person) and boil it in a saucepan for four minuts. Let them cool down and eat.


Gardening tips: Chickens are very rewarding pets. But don't get a male and a female unless you want to breed.
