[quote=Anonymous]Cooking is something that some people really enjoy. If you like to cook, learning how to cook for kids and families is a win win. It will make you more marketable to some families and you can be paid to do something your enjoy.

My suggestion would be to try out recipes at home first. You can also start learning more creative ways to make kids like healthy food. Some of this is just presentation, understanding their flavor palette, and expanding on types of food that they already like to eat. You may also want to experiment with making healthier baked goods (simple stuff is fine too like substituting applesauce for oil in muffins or adding some pureed vegetables).

It sounds like your employers eat more of a South Beach, lower carb or GF limited diet. Fish is easy to make and you can google some recipes on cooking in a "pouch". This is usually just parchment or even foil folded over. You place each serving of fish, seasonings, and vegetables in a pouch and then cook in the oven or grill. Very easy low clean up, very healthy, and avoids the problem with over drying or overcooking fish. You can do the same with boneless chicken breasts (longer cooking times).

America's test kitchen (not always super healthy but usually good), allrecipes and epicurious are good sites. I actually don't like the food network's recipes as they often have some pretty bad recipes. [/quote]
