[quote=Anonymous]See if her school offers Home Ec (now called Family and Consumer Sciences).

Teach her how to read a recipe. (There is a difference between 1 cup sifted flour and 1 cup flour, sifted) I was a Home Ec teacher before. I was shocked at how many kids didn't know simple things like how to measure dry ingredients or liquid ingredients. So the fundamentals, like knife skills, is really important. Get her a nice, sharp knife that keeps a good edge and a knife sharpener.

Get her some Penzey's FoxPoint Seasoning. She can make really easy Baked Chicken--put a layer of mayo on a chicken breast and put FoxPoint on top. Then stick in an oven (even better if it's a toaster oven, so the whole kitchen doesn't get hot) at 350 for about 20 mins.

Teach her how to make foil packet foods like chicken or fish. Place veggies on the bottom (can be thawed frozen veggies) along with some onions (get her swim goggles so her eyes don't tear up), place fish or chicken on top, add some seasoning like Fox Point and bake.
