Chinese Cooking Workshop for kids in Athens
In 2019 Making Memories is organizing Chinese Cooking Workshops for families. The first in this series is called the Humble Dumpling!
Dumpling recipes involve kneading, which is a great kitchen skill for young children to practice – helping them to build up their control and muscles, as well as encouraging them to connect with their food by making items from scratch.
Cutting and folding of the dough are other great activities for young children. Get hands-on in the kitchen as you and your kids create these precious parcels of delight. Join us around the table for filling, folding and twisting before sitting down to enjoy the fruits of your labor in good company!
