Cooking with your family is one of the most satisfying and fun activities you can do together — and when your dad is an acclaimed chef like Geoffrey Zakarian, you probably spend a lot of time learning tricks and tips in the kitchen. GZ’s daughters, Madeline and Anna, share their favorite recipes and kid-friendly cooking techniques in their new cookbook, The Family That Cooks Together — and they (along with Dad!) host some brand-new, family-friendly cooking classes that feature recipes from the book on Food Network Kitchen.
It’s so much fun to watch this family cook together and their classes are perfect for cooking along with your crew, too. Here are three to get you started:
Anna Zakarian says this version of the classic sandwich is “way easier to eat than the triple-decker one you can get at restaurants.” And it’s true — the petite size is perfect for toting on picnics (“or golfing!” Anna jokes with her dad), and is easy for kids to stack and hold. Plus her tip on placing the tomato between two pieces of lettuce saves you from a soggy sandwich.
Madeline Zakarian joins her dad in this class for an easy dump-and-stir snack recipe. The mixture of nuts, seeds and dried fruit gets held together with peanut butter, olive oil and maple syrup for a pantry-friendly bar that is layered with lots of complementary flavors and textures.
Nostalgic for frozen fish sticks? Geoffrey’s upgrade is a recipe both kids and their parents will love — it’s all the crunch and reliability of the freezer version, plus the added flavor of salty Parm and a dill-and-caper dipping sauce.
