sca-cooks Re: Children in the Kitchen

[Mark Schuldenfrei]

  I am looking for volunteer activities for children to do and wanted to know
  how other Kitchen Overlords felt about children (no younger that 8-10) in
  their kitchens.

At a recent East Kingdom University held locally, the feast was made up,
partially, of foods cooked in "classes" throughout the day.  One of the
classes was on food decoration, and a number of younger people attended, and
helped.  They were SO good, that the local Baroness made a small token award
to them at the evenings court.

Heavily recommended.

My wife has often made a children's activity out of part of each feast that
she has made.  Making sugar plate shields that children can paint coats of
arms on with food coloring, or cookies they can decorate, or having them
mold bread dough into swords for baking.  Stuff like that.

I love and admire my wife.
