It’s so true – cooking is one of the best ways of sneaky education. I also like to encourage it because it is one of the great missing skills in our current culture. If you can cook you are a hero in many circles… or completely perplexing. I guess it depends on the circle. 🙂

What an excellent list of skills learned by the simple act of cooking. Love it! Thank you Deb.

I learned how to do fractions while baking with my mom. Once I was in school I struggled mightily with adding and subtracting fractions that were written down on paper and my mom and I went back into the kitchen to re-learn them. Hands on learning makes things so much more relevant!

My children love cooking.

I love how children learn without its needing to be forced at all. And I love your carnival!

I have to tell you I had no idea what pikelets were. I was expecting some kind of fish. 🙂 But now that I know, I want to try them. They sound like so much fun to make with kids, particularly as Mikko loves pancakes. I love that you give the “right” directions (with the sifting and the extra bowl to whisk) and then admit you don’t always do that. I’m always ignoring the recipe’s instructions that way. 😉

I’m going to try out this recipe. Thanks for sharing! We’re all a bunch of foodies here, so any time we can cook together it’s fun ( and messy!). I like how you broke down how the kids are learning doing such a simple activity.

I also thought “pikelets” would be some sort of fish! I’m learning at home, too! Great activity – food preparation is always fun and so educational!

Great idea. Annie is really getting into cooking after watching Junior Masterchef and I think she’d like this idea of a twist on pikelets 🙂
