BRIAN SAYS COOKING BOOSTS SELF CONFIDENCE
Remember the first time your child rode his bicycle solo? Or when he discovered he could swim? Well that same sense of accomplishment is experienced in the kitchen when Junior is the chef who prepares a meal, or any part thereof. Be sure to celebrate his achievement, and if something doesn’t go as planned, correct the action taken without criticizing the meal. This is critical in building the rungs on your child’s confidence ladder.
BRIAN SAYS COOKING TEACHES ABOUT THE WORLD
In our home, Fridays evenings are our ‘fun nights'. One Friday out of each month we (or really they) choose a country for us to ‘visit’, and we immerse ourselves in that culture. We speak with accents, speak about the country, and most importantly, we cook something from that nation. We’ve been to India, Japan, Mexico, and we’re regulars in Italy ;)

BUDDING CHEFS
If you have a child who already has a strong interest in cooking, the summer holidays are the perfect time to encourage your little ‘foodie’ to develop his skill. Budding Chefs Cooking Camp is designed to nurture your little chef age 5 to 13 years. Under the expert tutelage of Chef Extraordinaire Brian Lumley, two separate and age-appropriate camps will teach your child all he needs to know about cooking; from nutrition to kitchen hygiene and safety, to fun meal preparation all while learning from the best, and making new friends. Spaces are limited, so contact them asap, I know I will. I suspect Aron and Asher may have a few tricks up their sleeves that they can share with Chef Brian!
