Gone were the days when parents only wished their children to grow up to become
lawyers, doctors and engineers. In many countries, a career in hotel and restaurant
operations whether in the front of the house or the kitchen can be highly rewarding.
The successful chef can sometimes be given the opportunity to work in different
parts of the world and earn big money.




The interest in cooking is something that can develop very early in children since
they are exposed to this on a daily basis at home especially if their family prepares
delicious meals at home. For the few little ones who do not spend all day on the
computer, playing house is one of the first games children play with their friends and
siblings. This involves pretend cooking which if developed further can grow into an
interest in becoming a professional.

Being a very fun interactive activity, children can easily fall in love with the joy of
cooking, usually starting off by helping their moms prepare home-cooked meals.
They then progress to making their own cookies and muffins if baking is their interest.
They start to be called kid chefs the moment their simple curiosity develops into a
keen interest and passion to explore it further. Some start attending cooking classes
or simply cook a lot at home, experimenting on ingredient combinations or religiously
following      their  recipe
books.       To nurture this
further     doting   parents
even buy uniforms, tools
and the works so that their
child really looks and feels
like a pro.

Strictly speaking, a child
cannot be considered a
chef as the word pertains
to       a     professional,
educated and skilled in
the different aspects of
food preparation.       The
term kid chef is not usually
treated so seriously such
that people will question it.
There are the occasional rare prodigies like ten-year old children who have
successfully published a cookbook or are able to prepare complex dishes that only
adults can execute. There are also cooking competitions that target children of
different ages as contestants. One very popular syndicated show is Junior Master
Chef which is a spin off from a similar concept for adults where over a dozen
contestants vie for the title battling it out in weekly challenges. It is amazing to
watch kids as young as eight years old create wonderful dishes and plate them up
almost to professional standards.

If your child shows great interest in culinary arts, then by all means nurture this gift but
be prepared to pay a pretty penny for cooking classes! Another way is to expose
the child to real life situations where he or she can learn from professionals. While
cooking at home, make sure to properly supervise children especially if they’re very
young and dealing with sharp tools and cooking equipment.
