Introduction The kitchen is the place to give children a desire for the good things in life. Passing on recipes to the younger generation is a lovely way to exchange ideas and expertise. Cooking is very special as it brings together all the five senses - touch, smell, vision, hearing and taste. Encourage your children to touch the food and appreciate the difference between the skin of an orange and that of a fish and learn how to tell when a vegetable is ripe and ready for cooking. These recipes have been created by top French chef, Sébastien Guénard, using fresh seasonal ingredients with tips to share with your children and hep them get the most from their senses. Some of the ingredients are typically found in France, but we have included some alternative ingredients in case you can't find the authentic produce!
