Personalizing Recipes For Kids
Teaching children how to follow a recipe is a very important part of cooking; however, they also need to learn that you can customize recipes for your own individual tastes. Of course, there are certain parts of recipes that should be left intact, but in many cases, things can be changes to suit their own likes and dislikes.
There are many lessons to be learned in customizing a recipe. First, they learn problem solving skills be deciding on a replacement ingredient for something that they aren’t fond of. They also get a chance to exercise their own creativity and develop new and exciting flavor combinations.
Pizza and sandwiches are great places to start when customizing recipes. With so many options for toppings and condiments, finding a combination that satisfies each child is easy. Give them some choices and let their imaginations run wild!

This post is so true. I know a lot of people are slaves to a recipe and think the recipe police will arrest them if they change an ingredient. The only way to break people of that is to teach them when they’re young.
