Headed over to Piccadilly, Bexley’s modern play and creative cafe, to host a kid’s cooking class to promote The Bite-Sized Book of Bite-Sized Recipes yesterday.

The kids were really excited (I translate really hungry as really excited), so we didn’t waste any time getting started. Mini soft pretzels were on the menu. SO easy to make, you’d wonder why you hadn’t made them from scratch before! The kids had an option of either sweet or savory. Most did sweet (VERY sweet), and a few mixed it up with sweet AND savory pretzels. In the SAME pretzel, mind you. This is what I love about kids. No boundaries, no rules. Just living on a whim.

I gave each kid a handful of dough thinking they would make many tiny pretzel shapes like stars, hearts, snakes, letters… Instead, they each made one giant pretzel.  To each his/her own. Versatile recipes are the ones I share the most. Make it how you like it. Throw some parmesan and garlic on your pretzel and dip it in marinara. Dust a pretzel with cinnamon and sugar and dip it in caramel sauce. I went for traditional salt and mustard for dinner, then salty caramel for dessert. Tiny adjustments to easy recipes and the whole family’s happy.

The Bite-Sized Book of Bite-Sized Recipes is full of recipes like Mini S’Mores, Baby Manicotti and Tiny Taco Salads. There are plenty of steps even the smallest of kids can help with. Kids are sometimes intimidated by food, like a plate full of veggies or a weird looking olive. Tiny foods are too tiny to be intimidating. They’re easy to make and easy to eat.

Thanks to all those who came out! I had a blast.
