My daughter (13 y/o) has started a cooking thing. One night a week she'll cook a family meal and earn $5. Goal is for her to learn safe knife handling, cooking techniques, food prep and seasoning, and how to feed herself. So when she goes off to college she won't have to live on Top Ramen and canned soup like I did. Her first "meal" was tofu and spinach soup (we're not being too demanding in the initial phase). Last night she made a sesame beef and garlic stirfry. Good progress here.

My son (8 y/o) will start doing this later. Right now he makes pancakes.

Any other kids and cooking going on here?
