My kids aren’t that young anymore. Two are in college and one is in her waning moments of high school. Now that my oldest two live off campus for the very first time and have their own full kitchens, it was time to start their cookbook library, so I bought them their first 10. Now, I realize that they don’t consult books often. They text me or FaceTime me when they have questions and sometimes after they search something online, they call me to see what I think (I don’t lack for opinions).
But having a kitchen meant they would have plenty of cooking opportunities, and me and my opinions shouldn’t be the end-all-be-all. I know that the best way to learn is to be taught by many people, in many ways, with many approaches, and many angles. It was now, without a doubt, my charge as parent to focus on what I like to do best of all: to teach them, to show them, to offer them the best, most reliable information, and then to let them do it. I want them to have books that I know they will use so they can, hopefully, learn to treasure the value of cooking from a book.
