And keep in mind what’s most important about cooking as a family: being together, having fun and sharing good times.

So adapt the level of difficulty to the age of your child and be sure to postpone recipes that involve flour if you don’t feel you want to deal with the flour mess! Children love it when you give them responsibility. So why not take this opportunity to teach them the ABCs of a clean work surface before and after cooking? It’s easy when you’ve got Cascades TuffTM on your side! Cascades TuffTM: Always there to help!

And pouf, you’re done! The work space is clean and ready for your culinary magic! You make the dough; the kids add the filling and help you pinch the sides together, making pretty designs and decorations as they go along. And voila… everyone’s happy!
