In the tin...We gave each child a tin of their own. In the tin was a small amount of each (non fresh) ingredient used in basic baking. i.e. flour, sugar, dried fruit, ground almonds etc. When they wanted to cook they took their tin and were given a limited amount of eggs/milk/butter. There were no recipes, they decided how much of each ingredient to use and how it was incorporated (they had access to recipes and to us but the choice was theirs). Some offerings were a little odd, they tended to be over eggy and under sugered. But they were theirs, they made their own mistakes within the confines of the limited ingredients available. The tins were replenished each month but when they ran out of ingredients they either had to wait or do deals with their siblings (!). All are now exceptionally good and very experimental cooks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249036132002915267noreply@blogger.com
