Happily, theres another way that kids are being caught up in the countrys food mania. And its one which I think should be encouraged at the expense of restaurant meals. Thats the trend for getting kids into cooking. Last week the Food Network Magazine announced that it would be creating a new title for children, in which chefs cook with their kids. A new PBS series, Hey Kids, Lets Cook! is heading into its second season, and over the last few years some of the leading cookbook authors, such as Rachael Ray and Rozanne Gold have released cookbooks aimed at kids. This is a trend I can get behind. Cooking is better for kids than eating; it makes them aware of how much work goes into making something good to eat, and it will inevitably give them standards that will make junk food look bad. (Delicious, yes, but bad or at least, recognizable as junk food, rather than, food, which is what it is for many kids.) Its also a kind of emergency home economics for an era when few households have an adult at their disposal full time. My hero Colonel Sanders learned to cook at the age of 7, making food for his young siblings while his mother worked in a factory; sadly, there are a lot of kids like him out there. Who knows? Once these kids learn to cook, maybe theyll become good eaters too, and skip being foodies entirely.
