Great British Chefs help get kids involved in cooking with tailored Windows 8 app

Great British Chefs (www.greatbritishchefs.com) - Cooking With Kids is a sweet cooking companion app for anyone looking to prepare some dishes with children. The app itself delivers 210 easy-to-follow recipes, ranging from dinners such as 'pizza hearts', 'campfire chilli con carne' to special treats like 'bacon roly polies' and 'choux caterpillar'. There's something for every kid to cook and enjoy.

Following on the success of the Great British Chefs app, which is already available for Windows 8, Cooking With kids takes recipes from leading chefs and devises them to encourage kids to get more involved in the preparation and cooking of individual dishes. There are a range of How To videos available, also catering to children with some of the basic (alongside the more complicated) techniques covered.
