Groom Your Own Celebrity Chef 
My daughter and I attend a weekly young kids' cooking class. The classes focus on making nutritious and easy, yet fun, recipes. When my daughter gets to do the prep work and the cooking, then she wants to eat the food! We also take the recipes home and make them again later.
