Cooking Skills

Each month we are going to teach you a new cooking skill so keep coming back to this page to learn more and improve in the kitchen. We want your children to draw a cartoon of a scene in the kitchen and send them to us. We will display all the best ones in our gallery so why not start discussing ideas with your child? Download the activity sheet on this page and then send your completed Cartoons to My Cookery Club at the address on the sheet.

	July
	How do I make my cake mixture so light and fluffy?
	Whisking makes your mixture light by adding air to it. With your whisk in your hand hold your mixing bowl and tilt it slightly. Use your whisk to stir the mixture. Do this very quickly so you can get lots of air in and make sure you get rid of any lumps that you do not want. You will find this helps a lot.
