Updated Version: Teaching Our Children to Cook – A Brief Lesson on ‘How to make Dolma’ by 7-year-old Raffi

Update: I was supposed to include a brief video in this post but couldn’t figure out how to do it. 
Thanks to my husband, Doug, the video is now inserted for everyone to see.

*******************
Since we’ve been in ‘lock-down’ mode for quite a while, I’ve been spending a LOT of time in the kitchen as I’m sure you have been, too. All I can say is, thank goodness for grocery delivery services!


Having been a High School Culinary instructor for over 30 years, it warms my heart to know that parents are teaching their children to cook as part of their home schooling routine – a brilliant and necessary idea!

Our great-nephew, Raffi and great-niece, Lena: Future Chefs!

Our nephew Kirk, and his wife Nairi are believers in this philosophy as well. They taught their 7-year-old son Raffi the art of preparing dolma in addition to other recipes. 


Better yet, they sent us a video.






I was thrilled to see how enthusiastically he participated in the dolma-project! 


I’m confident Raffi – and younger sister Lena – will continue to prepare amazing dishes under the careful supervision of their parents.

Raffi carefully rolls a stuffed grape leaf.

    This is so great to see. I find they also like to make manti. My 5 year old niece sat with me for a whopping 40 minutes before she got antsy and needed to find something new to do.
