Some of my best kitchen adventures seem to come in the lively presence of my little nieces and nephews. Children are great and enthusiastic cooking tyros. I'm one with them . Inspired by watching Sesame Street and the Hippie Gourmet on PBS. By gosh, all of us should support public television and radio!
