How I cook with my family

Being in locking one with others can try, but prepare meals together was great.


In recent years, cooking with my children has evolved from occasional activity to a more frequent and structured hobby, but since thecoronavirus pandemic sent us in a hot lockdown a few weeks ago, it became aessential Lifeline to all.

My adult children have never had a lot of interest to cook, but my two younger children have become particularly intrigued when I first done what their favorite dish would do,Pepper steak. They would rush into the kitchen when it was time to ignite the brandy for the sauce and (at a safe distance, with a fire extinguisher) wonder the flames and applaud their hands on their ears at the vacation of the Smoke alarms.

From time to time, I started inviting them to accomplish tasks while I cooked, like lowering the steak, orpeeling Some produce or let them return the occasional pancake.

As a social media creature, I would also often post photos and videos of my creations - including the Slo-Mo Frame - who eventually gave me the idea of ​​combining activities and giving birth to "Daddy and Holly and Liam's Cooking Show, "Facebook Faceau as friends and family that we had turned off once every month or both. The format has lent a certain structure to what had been random lessons here and there and to look at the television intensified the interest of children in cooking.

Sincecoronavirus, the cooking together became more important than ever. As even any adult can tell you, the various degrees of Lock-Classic have people who fear something, whatever, to occupy a time spent once spent in the world outside. But for children, the disturbance of the routine is particularly stressful and a few hours of zoom class are more comforting.

Similarly, in addition to the concern that a global pandemic presents to the adult psyche, we must also face the duel's concerns of looking at our children to treat this new reality and keep them from our last nerve.

The cooking together has become an escape from the coronavirus which, crucially, did not escape the sweepNetflix And Disney Plus could do. We are talking about the food we do, I make endless dad jokes, I surprise them by pretending to cut me - good clean fun.

Speaking of his own,cooking Also was a great way to provide coronavirus-related lessons. Frequenthand washing Is a basis of cooking life, but we are now a noisy buzzer sound whenever one of us touches our face and immediately sink for 20 seconds of anti-viral washing.

Everything should not be a superb showcase of culinary skills, either. I make tacos of a mix tonight (Gasp!), But there are always tips and tricks to use with a mixture of low sodium in order to cleanse the beef broth with taste and Beef broth instead of water to give it an extra flavor. And the tasks that children can play to keep in the kitchen with me and away from television.

I would like to be able to tell you that children cook with me illuminate the actual workload, but alas, this is not the case. They take a little more more to do things that me, the results are sometimes a little bit and there are often superfluous cleaning to perform.

But at a time when the rest of the world practice social distance and trying to keep their minds from the global crisis, an extra time together is a blessing.
