Video Cookbook Playdate Tips
- If you don’t have a video camera, check out inexpensive and very simple point-and-shoot models like the Flip camera and the Vado. Or use the movie function on your digital camera — just make sure you have at least 1 GB of memory.
- You may want to use a tripod, though it’s not necessary.
- While grandparents cook, older kids can shoot video or photographs and take notes on ingredients, measurements, and technique.
- Younger children can draw pictures of the food to include in their recipe book.
- Give your grandchildren a three-ring binder to start their own recipe book. If you like, include your signature recipe. Include plastic sleeves to slip the recipes into. This will protect them in the future when the grandchildren want to use them again.
- Give your grandchild the video cookbook as birthday or holiday gift. Digital video is easily shared: Upload it to hosting sites like Vimeo or YouTube or burn it to a DVD, either on your home computer or at any number of camera service stores and even drugstores, including CVS, Walgreens, and Target.
