Plant-Based Recipe Books for Children

Omari McQueen's best bites cookbook

As long as children take good care in the kitchen with supervision and you take care of knives and hot pans etc, teaching children to cook is not just good for taste and health and money, but sets them up for life later on, to learn good skills to make their own food, so they don’t succumb to living on fast food or ready-meals as adults.
