What can you cook with my product?

I am developing a recipe book with several child friendly healthy meals and snacks that can be made using my product. In order to do this I hope to design some drawings and combine my illustrations with some of those drawn by children who have contributed to my research. I have begun by creating some different styles, drawing vegetables in different ways and assessing what would look the best.

I have also begun to make a collection of recipes I think are appropriate to include in my little booklet, such as Fajitas, with home made salsa and guacamole, pasta sauces, chickpea and mushroom burgers and a variety of soups. I am still working on this and hope to add several more ideas in order to be able to test them.

The recipes will all focus on the elements for children to complete with the occasional task for a supervisory adult. Ideally the recipes will allow the children to complete most of the preparatory aspects of the recipe so that the user can learn by contributing a significant amount, and also enjoy the sense of accomplishment when the meal is finished.

I am hoping to test the recipes during a small workshop at a primary school in Cupar. I am hoping to involve the children in cooking certain parts of as many recipes as possible. However, with limited facilities and possible health restrictions it might not be possible to make every recipe. It is also possible for me to bring some pre-prepared aspects to make it easier. I will be taking feed back on how they found the experience cooking and also what recipes they enjoyed eating the most.
