Christmas cooking for kids

The holiday season is a fantastic opportunity to let children take part in simple and colourful cooking. Here are a few quick and easy recipes!
Cooking is one of the great joys that can be shared with little and big kids to spend wonderful moments together. Your child will be proud to cook something with little or no help, and first and foremost, they will be happy to spend time with you!
