Short of screaming-hot Thai food, everything can be suitable for kids too.

Kids want to saute, to cut the pizza, to see how the ingredients come together. If you let them do the fun stuff, they'll develop skills and interests that will stay with them forever.

If you know anything better than this candidly impart it; if not, use this with me.

A lie is an excuse guarded

Garlic is as good as ten mothers.
