This post is a follow-up post to Teaching Cooking Skills to my Kids in which we discussed 6 basic skills to make scratch cooking easy.

Top 6 Kitchen Skills

  • Knife skills
  • Dry Beans and whole grains
  • Baking Bread from scratch
  • Soup Stock & Sauces
  • Meal Planning and Organization
  • Making Condiments, Snacks, & Staples

This fantastic “Top 6 List” was conceived by Chris over at Joybilee Farms at 6 Basic Skills that Make Cooking From Scratch Easier. The following sources were so helpful to me when I was organizing the lesson plan suggestions for Teaching Cooking Skills to My Kids.
