Award-winning chef Fabio Trabocchi grew up in Italy and learned to cook from his father and grandparents. Now in Washington, D.C., Trabocchi is helping his son Luca, 10, learn to cook— everything from pastry doughs and pasta to grilled sandwiches and fish. Trabocchi’s second restaurant is named after Luca, and his third, Fiola Mare, just opened in February. “Cooking together—whether it’s professionally or just at home—will be something we always do, it’s our way of life,” says the chef. Watch the duo cook Luca’s favorite sandwich in the video.

Variations and suggestions:
If you like, you can make this recipe using plastic ice-pop molds instead of the paper cups and popsicle sticks.
For a cool-looking snack, fill your cups only halfway with one flavor of yogurt in Step 1. Follow Steps 2, 3, and 4. Remove your pops from the freezer, take off the plastic wrap, and spoon in another flavor of yogurt that's a different color. Put the plastic wrap back on and freeze once more. When your pops are frozen, you'll have two-colored treats!

What you'll need
- 1 8oz tube of premade crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons of Nutella
- 1 cup of blueberries
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 2 tablespoons of Nutella for decoration
- Parchment paper
How to make it
Preheat the oven to 350°. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into the pre-cutted 8 triangles. Place them over a sheet of parchment on an oven tray.
Cut each triangle in 2 leaving you with 16 triangles total.
Scoop a litle bit of Nutella into half of each triangle of dough, a thin layer will be more than enough!
Then add some blueberries, 3 or 4 is good, don't put too many. Fold the triangles so they are all covered. Press on the sides with a fork triying to sear all sides. Some of them will have Nutella overflowing but this is ok.
Add a thin layer of butter to the top of each turnover. Bake for 12 minutes. Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons of Nutella in a double-broiler until soft.
Take the turnovers out of the oven. Decorate the turnovers with twirls of Nutella, just grab a spoon and softly pour over the tunovers making curves. Eat immediately!

These mini quesadillas are best enjoyed while they're still warm – which gives your child the chance to play party host, walking around with a serving tray of savory appetizers he helped make. Don't forget a bowl of guacamole and a serving spoon so your guests can dip in style.
What you'll need
- 2 cups cooked chicken, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced onion (optional)
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 6 to 8 ounces grated Monterey Jack cheese
How to make it
-
Heat the chicken, barbecue sauce, and onion together in a small saucepan until warmed through. Meanwhile, have your kids use 2 1/2- or 3-inch cookie cutters to cut the tortillas into pairs of matching shapes (ideally, you'll end up with 12 to 16 pairs).
-
Place one of each pair of shapes on your work surface and sprinkle cheese on them. Add a tablespoon of the chicken mixture and a little more cheese, then top with the matching tortilla shapes.
-
Right before serving, place the assembled tortillas, a few at a time, on a warmed griddle and cook over moderate heat for 2 minutes on each side. As you cook them, transfer the tortillas to a baking sheet kept in a warm oven until the whole batch is done. Serve at once. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
