If you want you children to have a basic repertoire of dishes, this tasty breakfast is a good place to start
It would be logical to assume, as children of a person who cooks for a living, that my sons would be passionate cooks. They are not. My sons, however, are passionate eaters. That’s not to say they eat everything – they pointedly do not – but they try most things.
From there, my scheme was to set up a challenge. Ten recipes to have a familiarity with, even if not mastery. And specific recipes: full dishes to feed themselves. Each boy has his own list, but generally it includes two breakfasts, one savoury and one sweet, a salad dressing or dip, a roast chicken, meatballs or meatloaf, a rice dish, macaroni and cheese, a main of their choice, then either a cookie, a muffin or quickbread, and a favourite dessert.
For the sweets, cookies will make you friends, while muffins and quick breads are the backbone of baking. Finally, everyone should have at least a general sense of preparing their dessert-island desert, just the way they like it. I like a collection of grains and seeds for texture and interest. Add or take away, but maintain the approximate ratio of liquids to dry ingredients. Switch the pecans for almonds or walnuts, or include sesame seeds or poppy seeds if inclined.
