The guide to all the essential equipment and utensils you need to get started.

This is everything we have bought and used from the start of our culinary adeventure and help us create al;l of our amazing recipes. Everything is toddler friendly but is suitable for children of all ages. I have loved everything that i reccomend, as it is safe, durable and easy to use and clean. I hope you find these links useful

Colourful Nesting Mixing bowl set - These are essential for getting preparedwith all your weighed and measured ingredients

Colourful Silicon mixing spoon set - These are great for mixing hot and cold ingredients and giving your little one a choice of what colour to use is always a great way to start the activity. You will definately need spares as well as your childx will lick the spoon!

Stackable set of measuring, jug cups and spoons - For those recipes that use cups, rather than grams. Brilliant for allowing the children to help with the measuring out and practicing transferring.

Digital Weighing Scales, for those that prefer to work in germs and ounces, like us; All the Evie Nakes recipes are measured in grams. The large size display is great for introducing and practicing numbers if you let your child assist with the weighing out.

All the rest if the utensils you could possibly need in one colourful set. Again Silcom, so easy to grip, heat proof and dishwasher safe, at a great price for so many items. Plus come with a container to store, so they can just be for use with your child and not mixed in with all your other utensils

All the baking tins you will need, for cookimng all the culinary delights with yoiur little ones, in one set. 7 Pieces including Round/Square Cake Pan, Loaf Muffin Cookie Sheet, Roast Cooling Rack, all non stick and dishwasher safe

We love our children’s knives and cutters, as they help your child grow in confidence and develop their fine motor skills, whilst ensure they are safe at all times. Great for soft fruits and vegetables. This set gives you everything you need.

Reusable silicon muffin cases, in different shapes. These are great, easily washable and saves having to constantly buy paper cases, which is also more sustainable.

Reusable silicon mat, which is perfect for all the cookies, biscuits and other fun things you’ll be making. Again saves on buying lots of parchment or graseproof paper

Rolling pins are great, when making biscuits and bread products and these two different sizes, silicon ones are fantastic

Level up cooking with your children. Invest in the best food mixer and food processor.

When we really started taking our cooking and baking seriously, we decided it was time to invest in some more equipment, so we could really level up and be a bit more adventurous.

I started to research the best food mixer and the best food processor and othe electrical equipment that we could use on our culinary journey. We wanted items that had many functions and were safe and durable, but most importantly kid friendly.

Once we invested in these items we were suddenly making much more extravogany cakes and bakes, smoothies, ice cream and even pasta!

The best learning tower for cooking with toddlers

The best investment we made when starting our culinary journey with Evie was definitely the learning tower. This will allow your little one to safely get to the countertop and feel comfortable whilst helping out in the kitchen. It will even allow them to be at the sink so you can empower them further by letting them assist withy the washing up.
