Jon has wasted no time getting Mei in the kitchen. He notes that most of us have childhood cooking memories. His earliest are of his “Granny Ashton who taught me that first and foremost, cooking is sharing.”
“Cooking with your children can have a remarkable impact. Those hours spent in the kitchen will resonate through their lives,” says Jon.
Watch for Jon’s cooking tips, recipes and antics in upcoming issues of Relish and on our website. To meet Jon (and enjoy his charming accent), go to relishmag.com/podcasts. In the meantime, here are a couple of recipes that kids even as young as Mei can enjoy with their dads this Father’s Day.
