This is working out well as they're learning to cook from cookbooks, classes, and online lessons - and it's totally interest-led learning. I only wish they had more interest in ethnic cooking, rather than making deserts! I'm not sure if it's their stomachs or a kitchen of their own that's providing the right incentive, but I'm not knocking whatever works.
