Brave Little Cooks: Market to Table cover

Sound familiar?

Real skills, in the right order

Kids who help in the kitchen usually get the stirring job. Then someone hands them a knife or a hot pan and nobody's sure they're ready. Market to Table builds the real skills in order, from washing up and the claw grip to cooking on the stove with a grown-up nearby, so you can see exactly when they're ready for the next step.
