In this episode, I'm joined again by my son Lucas to explore the eight essential skills teens should master before diving into cooking. We discuss the importance of knowing your way around the kitchen, maintaining kitchen safety and cleanliness, reading recipes thoroughly, developing basic knife skills, using proper tools and measurements, managing time effectively, and grocery shopping including meal planning and budgeting. These are foundational skills in building confidence and self-sufficiency in the kitchen & we've only just begun to scratch the surface with this conversation!
