Abigail is only four years old and cooking up a storm with her Dad, Matt. Matt thought it would be fun to learn recipes from the Spatulatta Cookbook. They started sending me photos and I suggested that they write a blog.

I believe the earlier you start kids cooking the better. Not only are they learning what goes into their food, but they also acquiring life skills. For Matt this was also a really good way to bond with his daughter on weekends. It's fun and relaxing for both dad and kid.

Abigail started stirring things just about as soon as she could hold a spoon, and measuring and pouring is fun for toddlers. And Matt chooses recipes that he thinks she can handle according to her development. But you'll soon see that cooking is helping Abigail develop dexterity and confidence in the kitchen.

We hope that you'll enjoy Abigail's Kitchen Adventures as much as I do.
