Cooking Family

July 17, 2008 by evelyn

As I’m sauteeing garlic, my five-year-old picks basil from the garden and plucks off the leaves, my 2-year-old cracks eggs expertly in a bowl and my husband chops mushrooms and olives.

We’re making a simple vegetable frittata for dinner. As we all fall into our roles to the backdrop of Van Morrisson singing, it occurs to me we are a cooking family.

It feels so natural to have everyone involved, for the little ones to be asking questions about why sometimes the yolks break and snatching tastes along the way, to my husband and I bouncing ideas off each other about ingredients and spices. It’s just something we do, and I hope continue for many, many years.

    Our son has been helping with cooking for about a year or so now. He loves it. It’s a great family time activity.

About Alison J. Bermack

It all began when I was a child cooking with my dad, the kitchen a magnet for cooking and camaraderie, a refuge from adolescence.
