Hi, I'm Annabel Karmel, and I'm the
author of the Toddler Cook Book. |
| 00:00:12 |
00:00:16 |
Now, every step of the recipe is
photographed so you can't go wrong |
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:18 |
with this book, and you're
never too young to start. |
| 00:00:19 |
00:00:24 |
I have over here Veronica, who is 4 years old
and Diana, who's 5, and we're going to be |
| 00:00:24 |
00:00:28 |
making pizzas. I'm going to show you how
easy it is to make your own pizza. |
| 00:00:28 |
00:00:33 |
so we've made a homemade tomato sauce with
some sautéed onions and some tomatoes, |
| 00:00:33 |
00:00:35 |
you can get going putting
some cheese on there, |
| 00:00:36 |
00:00:42 |
and I've used for my base, a split home-made
Pita bread, so it's actually healthy as well |
| 00:00:42 |
00:00:45 |
and what we're going to do when we've
covered the pizza with some cheese, |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:49 |
like Veronica's doing, is we're going to
be designing a face using vegetables. |
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:52 |
I'm not one to hide vegetables, I think
children should enjoy eating their vegetables |
| 00:00:53 |
00:00:56 |
and I want to show you a few other things
from my book, these are my lettuce boats, |
| 00:00:56 |
00:01:01 |
which are really healthy, so it's lettuce,
and inside I've got some chicken, |
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:03 |
with some mayonnaise,
sweet corn and scallions, |
| 00:01:04 |
00:01:08 |
and over here is something that's really
nice to make with kids - it's meringues. |
| 00:01:08 |
00:01:11 |
I've actually colored the meringues, so
they're actually yellow, green, pink, blue, |
| 00:01:11 |
00:01:16 |
and they make them with little piping bags
so very hands-on, what you want is |
| 00:01:16 |
00:01:19 |
you want every step of the recipe
to be able to be made by the kid. |
| 00:01:20 |
00:01:24 |
And this is one of my favorites, these
are my adorable peanut butter bears, |
| 00:01:24 |
00:01:28 |
made of peanut butter and rice crispies,
little chocolate ears and M&M's for eyes. |
| 00:01:29 |
00:01:32 |
And over here are my mini lemon cheese
cakes which you make in a round mold, |
| 00:01:32 |
00:01:35 |
and when you take it off you have
a mini cheese cake in a circle. |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:39 |
So how are we getting on, we've got some eyes
over here, and we're going to have a mouth |
| 00:01:39 |
00:01:43 |
and a nose, now what I did with my
kids when they were young is I had a |
| 00:01:43 |
00:01:46 |
cooking birthday party where
there was no food on the table, |
| 00:01:46 |
00:01:48 |
because the kids made their own birthday tea. |
| 00:01:49 |
00:01:51 |
And with this book you can
create your own birthday party, |
| 00:01:51 |
00:01:55 |
or just friends over to cook, and children
would love to make their own supper, |
| 00:01:56 |
00:01:59 |
and their own tea and their own birthday
and they like to make it themselves. |
| 00:02:00 |
00:02:03 |
Because what kids like to do is to
be part of the grown up world. |
| 00:02:03 |
00:02:06 |
And when they're cooking they're
learning all sorts of things |
| 00:02:06 |
00:02:09 |
because they're understanding time, they're
weighing they're measuring, understanding |
| 00:02:09 |
00:02:13 |
mass without noticing, and we're going
to finish this off with a little bit of hair, |
| 00:02:13 |
00:02:17 |
so excuse me, over here and a bow
do you want to put a bow on? |
| 00:02:18 |
00:02:21 |
And we're going to show everybody.
So I want this to inspire everybody out there |
| 00:02:22 |
00:02:27 |
to roll up their sleeves and
have fun with kids in the kitchen. |
