Preparing a feast

Select a recipe that you would like to create with your child.

Take the recipe with you to the supermarket and ask your child to help you select all of the ingredients, making sure the quantity of the ingredients matches the number of servings and size of the dish you want to make.

For example, you might like to make muffins.

The recipe might make 12, but you decide you would like to double (or halve) the quantity.

Discuss with your child how this will affect the number of eggs, quantity of milk, flour, etc., that you need and ask them to consider the different size packages for each ingredient.
