[quote=Anonymous]Home-made pizza. Deviled eggs. Home made pasta (that one a six year old actually could do, except for the hand kneading). Pasta salad. Hamburgers and roasted vegetables. Any kind of marinated chicken that then cooks in the oven. Tacos. I think I would tend more towards oven stuff and away from anything that might spatter grease or need to be flipped, especially if you have gas ranges. I think stirring things in a frying pan is one of the most difficult skills for kids--they ether don't stir enough and it burns, or they slosh it off the sides. So I might work up to those recipes gradually. I agree with the other posters that said get a cookbook and let them pick some things. Even if it's desserts--that's how I learned to cook--I have a vicious sweet tooth and my mom can't bake so I became a serious baker, but learned most of the basics and most importantly the lesson that food doesn't have to come ready made in a box or bag.
