Be especially careful when you try any of these projects. Kitchens are very dangerous places: most things seem to be very hot or very sharp! Always check with an adult before you begin, and make sure they know what you're going make.

Read through the recipe before you start. Write out a list of what you need, but have a look in the cupboards before you go shopping, in case there are any ingredients that you already have and so won't need to buy. If there are, check with an adult before you use them. Otherwise you might have eaten somebody else's tea! Before you start cooking, make sure that where you're going to be working is clean and tidy. Have everything ready that you'll need, but clear away any extra items so that you have plenty of space to work in. Successful cooking requires a lot of time and patience, so you need to be well organised and prepared right from the start.
