More from Little Chef

I was asked by several readers to tell the end of the quiche story from my previous 'Family chefs' post. Once again my kids have shown a complete non adherence to any book about kids' eating behavior. Every reasonable book about kids and food issues, especially those meant for parents to picky eaters suggest to cook with your kids. 'Once they made it they will be open to try it' (taste it I would assume). And so after my 5 year old little chef walked me through his recipe and we got an olive, tomatoes and sour cream quiche, he was patiently sitting next to the oven (yes, he even brought a chair for the event) I was convinced he was going to try and at least taste it. After all, his imagination made recipe consisted solely from ingredients he likes to eat and in a surprisingly well organized combination (I was really surprised he hadn't include chocolate). So when we finally got our nice smelling quiche from the oven, he looked at it with a bit of disappointment and said:"I made it all just for you mom, I knew you'd like it" he smiled. "I like it a lot" I said, munching on my slice. "Don't you want to try it?״ I asked. "No, thank you, I already know in my brain how it tastes like" he said in a nonchalant tone and went back to play. I don't know what these books are based on but I guess my kids just hadn't read them.
