Kids CAN Learn To Cook
Stay at home cooking lessons for ALL LEARNERS
This cooking blog began when Ben and Geoff from the book October Mornings in Salem, Massachusetts decided to share the recipes that they enjoy making while living in Salem - the Halloween Capital of the world.

Whether it is a crisp Fall October morning, a cold snowy day in winter, a breezy spring afternoon or a sun-filled day in summer - any day is a great day to cook. Join Ben and Geoff for cooking lessons to prepare fun, easy, and nutritious recipes that will be posted weekly.


This blog will help parents, childcare providers and children to be able to prepare a variety of foods by...
- Reading recipes
- Identifying kitchen utensils and tools
- Learning appropriate cooking terminology
- Garnishing foods
- Measuring
- Collaborating


My hope is to inspire children to develop a life-long love for cooking and appreciate good food.

Puree – a smooth creamy substance made of crushed fruit or vegetables that is in the form of a liquid.

Ben showed his friend Cameron how to use a food processor to puree the fruit because he did not have a blender.

How to Make It: 

Puree…the yogurt and juice using a blender or food processor.

Add…the fruit you have chosen. Puree the mixture until you have a smooth liquid.

Pour…the liquid into glasses.

You may chill the smoothies by adding ice to the empty glasses before pouring in the liquid. If you choose, add some extra fruit on top. You may want to use your favorite straw.
