Tips for Engaging Children in the Kitchen
EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) -- The Spatulatta sisters learned to make cookies from their grandmother and Hawaiian salads from their mother, and they acquired a love of Italian food from their dad.

The sisters are better known as Isabella and Olivia Gerasole of Evanston. They also learned how to turn all that quality kitchen time into a budding culinary career, with their own cookbook and a James Beard Award-winning Web site to their credit. All by the age of 13 and 11.

In an era when many parents struggle just to get dinner on the table, never mind involve the kids in the prep, the Gerasole sisters are an example of the difference a little stove time with the little ones can make.

Research repeatedly has shown children eat healthier foods, are more confident and learn valuable life and academic skills when they cook with their families.
