Activities Like Cooking Can Bring Families Closer

September 2005 (Newstream) -- What can help bring families closer together? For many people, it’s traditions like birthdays or dinners that get the family to spend time together in casual settings. One of the easiest traditions to start begins in the kitchen.

Cooking with different generations of the family can be a fun time for all ages. Older family members can pass on their favorite family recipes or the whole family can experiment with new food choices.

For instance, books like the newly released 10th edition of The Betty Crocker Cookbook has recipes for all types of cookers – from slow cookers to party planners and quick after-work meal makers. And perhaps, these cookbooks may also include a special recipe for a new family tradition.
