re: What age to teach children to cook?

My kids are 10 and 9 and both of them can scramble eggs, bake cookies, grilled cheese. My so has made a roux before and if they show interest I allow them to help in the kitchen. Just tonight my son made hamburger patties. My daughter peels her own cucumbers.

I think having a 7yo watch you cook is good bonding time..... dont force it upon him though.
