Little Chefs In the Kitchen- Final Roundup!


Here's the final roundup of the Little Chef entries! Thank you all for contributing and making this event a hit!

12.
Abha, all the way from the land of kiwis- NZ, sent this recipe for Creamy Muffins with her "Cool Kids Cooking"! With due respect to Abha and her kids, I am going to do a separate post on their entry with all their wonderful pictures and the recipe, but in the meantime, here is a preview of these very cute little chefs whipping up a storm!



Look at that treat...but most of all, look at those happy faces! Utterly cute, I say!


13.
Vini from Passion for Food: Tiramisu

Little Chef Ananya helped mom make tiramisu even though she suffered an injury..what a brave little chef she is!



Look at those cute little pink pajamas....how I wish for a girl sometimes.......lol!



14.
Mommyof2: Whole Wheat Cookies!

Here is little Chef A, who made a very healthy whole wheat cookie and decorated it all by himself! Look at that precious heart shape...well done, A!






Now that's a cookie, I wouldn't mind having.....! Wonderful Job A!


15.
Sandeepa of Bong Mom's Cookbook: Banana Pancakes


Sandeepa's little chef S made banana pancakes for breakfast! As Sandeepa says, Little S is more than willing to help in the kitchen, and get this, she also helps her dad unload the dishwasher and help mumma pound the masalas! What a kid...!


16.
Sunita of Sunita's World: Fruity Custard and Jelly Trifle



Sunita's Little Chefs come all the way from UK and they bring to us this awesome looking Fruity custard and Jelly Trifle. What a combo...a surefire hit with the kids! Great job, it looks delicious!


17.
Prema from Prema's Cookbok: Pedaas!






Prema's 5 year old daughter made one of my favorite dessert- Pedaas! Look at that lovely star shape of that yummy pedaa! This recipe is really easy, by the way, I tried this last week and the pedaas came out great!


18.
Shaheen from Malabar Spices: Heart Shaped Cookies!


Shaheen's son helped her make these heart shaped cookies...and he also added a special touch by sprinkling some sugar on them!
A creative cook already!


19.
Suma of A Clueless Cook: Garlic bread with an Indian Twist:





Little Chefs Shreyas and Shravya helped mom make Garlic bread with a twist....!
In Suma's own words "My son is not that little. So, instead of asking him to stir something, I chose a recipe where he can contribute maximum. My son enjoyed doing most of the work and my daughter did the sprinkling part happily. They wanted to do more and I had to stop them.".

20.
Peanut butter and Chocolate Bars: from Me and my two chefs


Recipe coming soon on another post!


Now on to some kid-friendly recipes !

* Sushma of Sunkiran: Banana Coconut Rolls!



Sushma came up with a great idea to roll bananas and coconut in a puff pastry! what a wonderful treat for kids...and of course, adults! Very creative snack, Sushma....thanks and my apologies!








*Jyothsna: Curry Bazzar: Orange Strawberry Smoothie & Lychee Yogurt


Kids love smoothies! What a perfect and a healthy drink, for those
who don't like to eat their fruits....turn it into a smoothie and it will be gone in a jiffy! Thanks Jyothsna!







* Coffee: My Khazana of recipes with Chocolate Dipped Strawberries!


What a delicious way to eat fruit....and its NOT just for kids.... Strawberries and Chocolate are a heavenly combiniation! Thanks Coffee!





* Rajani: Amma Chepindi : Baked Beans Wonder....



What a wonderful lunch idea! kids love these kinds of stuff....the more you make it look like their favorite foods, there are more chances of them eating it! Thanks Rajani!






* Sri: Daavat: Khaman Dhokla


Kids love the taste and the spongy texture of this recipe....look at how fluffy they are! Are you sure you're not a Gujarati, Sri? Thanks!



* Pooja: My Creative Ideas: Coriander Stars

Dear Pooja Masi,

We love the way these stars look! Now, if only our mom would get off the computer and make them for us! or are we going to have to wait until you come here?? *giggles*

Hugs,
Sahil and Siddharth


* Supriya: Spice Corner: Raspberry Apricot Tart and Fresh Strawberries with icecream and chocolate!





No words to describe these delectable desserts! They are wonderful to make, especially for birthday parties and on special days....raspberries and apricots, and strawberries! What a medley of fruits! Thanks Supriya!

    hi Trupti
    You visited my site and commented and thats how I found you! What a lovely idea. I can't wait to do this with my twins.

    I used to help my mom out when I was little and I think it really influenced my love for cooking.
