I'm a self-taught cooking expert and what I've seen throughout my experience is that the kids would only cook the thing they love to eat! Ask any kid to prepare his fav food by himself if he wishes to eat it. Tell him that it will benefit him in the future to the time again when he'll want to eat it and you or any other person that can help him is not at home.
Also make something for yourself and eat before him just to jealous him off so that he feels that you have made it and now enjoying...wishes & luck!
Take them to see "Julie and Julia" ("Julia and Julie"). I just saw that today. I am male and not ashamed to say that it was great.
If you have no idea what the movie is, it just came out. It is about Julia Childs of french cooking fame, and Julie, who decides to blog about doing all Julia's recipes in a year. (Sort of like a Hub challenge.).
First I will let my child to prepare her favorite dish so she gets interest in cooking. When she have wish for his favorite dish, I will let my child to stay near by me and teach her to prepare her favourite dish first then another one.
I think the best way to teach your kids for cooking, make their favorite dish first and tell them the procedure of making to that food to them, slowly he or she can interested for that food and try.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
