Teach your children how to cook as soon as they can hold a knife

I learned one of the greatest lessons in life from the Italians: teach your children how to cook as soon as they can hold a knife. Now all this effort is paying back.

We had boys' classmate's family over for lunch. Despite of over-training yesterday in tennis, I still managed to cook a decent meal. My sons helped in making all grill sauces, chopped veggies and frying mushrooms. Before kitchen duties, boys vacuumed the floors, and cleaned the sinks in the toilets. My work is done here.
