That's true. Sometimes I get tired of "strange", and skim or skip some
posts. Other times I find them entertaining.

My wife does a lot of cooking with kids. She finds it very rewarding,
although it requires some patience.

If your son is mostly stuck on sweets, cupcakes can be fun. Many kids
really get into decorating. Have an assortment of candies and such for
decorating. Cookies can be decorated also. An apple crisp sounds good
to me. Pies require a lot more manual dexterity, so I don't think
that's a good starter. If he isn't ready for a knife, have him peel the
apples and then watch while you slice them.

Pizza is another good one for kids, especially the decorating. Make
several small ones so they can experiment some.

Oh yes! Get a bunch of small pita breads. Slice them so you have 2 rounds,
and let the kids sauce them then put choice of toppings on then bake til
bubbly.

Another one they like is soft pretzels. Make a bath of dough (I use the
breadmaker) then help them roll it out by demonstrating the first one. Just
pull off a little, place on waxed paper (with a little flour to keep from
sticking or use cornmeal for the neat effect) and hand roll to a long
string. Thin or thick as desired. Twist to wild shapes (need not be
traditional!) then show the kids how to use a pastry brush to put an egg
glaze on. Now, set out a bunch of different suitable spices and let them
sniff them all and pick what they want.

Help them spice if young enough they'd just dump the jar on it (grin).

Bake and let them watch through the glass door (if you have one) as they
cook.

They can pick out their own as they will have made different shapes. Don
tends to make little puppy-dog shapes ;-)

I am sure no tutor told a bunch of you to make illiterate non-topical posts
in droves in this or any other group. If he'she has, I want to know their
name ans the schoolk so I can officially log a complaint. I am sure
however, such will not be forthcoming as you are lying.

Incidentally, I hear there are lots of recipes from Europe, Dan.
Pizza, for instance, is European. So is spaghetti with meat sauce.
And I think salade Niçoise might be either European or maybe French?
