Before the Children start cooking,
here are a few points that should always be remembered.

1  Read the recipe right through and make sure you know what you have to do. Ask someone to explain anything you do not understand.
2  Put on an apron, wash hands and lay the table (if this is necessary.)
3  Wipe over the work surface you will be working on.
4  Get out all equipement you need to make the recipe.
5   Check at what stage the oven should be lit; this will take about 15minuets to heat up.
6   Measure all your ingredients carefully.
7   As you work, remove dirty dishes to a bowl of hot water, and keep surface well wiped.
8   Clear up the kitchen when you have finished, remember to do this well, or the next time Mum won't let you use her kitchen.

We will start with a Beany Pie
