Vegan Recipes For Kids To Get Involved In Cooking

Vegan Recipes For Kids To Get Involved In Cooking

All of three of us that run Yum Vegan Blog are parents. Between us we have four kids and one on the way.

I would love to say I really enjoy having my kids in the kitchen but I don’t always enjoy it that much. My kids often argue and I am not very good with mess. I so wish I could be one of those chilled mums!

Despite it not being my favourite thing to do, the kids absolutely love and enjoy getting involved. Across the world, so many parents are faced with lockdown at the moment and we are all looking for things to keep our little ones entertained at home.

Turnip Fries

My kids love French fries and I feel this turnip alternative would be a good vegetable instead of potatoes.
