A poll found half of parents wish they could cook with their children more regularly

Seven out of 10 parents avoid cooking with their children more frequently due to time constraints and concerns about creating a mess. A survey of 1,000 parents with youngsters aged 6-16 revealed that half would love to cook alongside their children more regularly, yet 21% confess they find the whole ordeal far too stressful. ‌

While 47% feel they don't have enough time for cooking with their children, 25% blamed their reluctance to cook more often on the mess. It was also revealed 39% would happily create a meal more often with their children if there was simply more time in the day, and 26% wished there were easier, more child-friendly recipes to follow together. ‌
