I haven't heard of such a rule. I have had children as young as 8 yrs old
helping in the kitchen....washing greens and herbs, setting out dishes on
trays and that sort of thing. In fact, one youngster who started in my
kitchen at 12 years old and is now 188 and majoring in biochemistry has
become entrusted with many intricate recipes, including a flaming boar's head
endored in green and gold at a recent feast. This same cook still can't cook
if his microwave is down at home. :-) Children in the kitchen are a wonderful
help and carry their interests into adulthood. I would never think of
banning them from any kitchen I was in charge of.
