Getting involved in the kitchen at a young age teaches children valuable lessons such as measuring, portioning and time management.

It also teaches kids the different types of nutrients and ingredients that go into their meals. Studies show when kids get involved with the cooking process, they may be more likely to eat healthier foods. Whether your child is a chef in-the-making or refuses to be near the kitchen, get them on board with these five cooking websites and apps that they will love.
