•	Check with Mum or Dad that you are allowed to cook.
•	So the food doesn’t get any germs, wash your hands with warm soapy water and dry them well.
•	Read the recipe through before you begin and get out all the equipment and ingredients you will need.
•	Don’t forget to have fun, and the best cooks ALWAYS clean up their mess.
