On top of spagetti all covered in sauce...

A pizza hut, a pizza hut.......

Jelly on a plate...

Ring a ring of rosies (catching differing foods instead of fish)

I think there is a Shirley Hughes poem about making mud pies???

My favourite is one my dad used to sing to me when I was little

1 2 3 mumma caught a flea
put it in the teapot and made a cup of tea
flea jumped out: mumma gave a shout
out came daddy with his shirt hanging out

not exactly cooking, I know.

my mum always sang me her own version of that

1 2 3 mother caught a flea
salted it and peppered it and put it in her tea laugh.gif

My Grandad's version was:
123 Momma cauught a flea,
Put it in the teapot and made a cup of tea.
When she put the milk in the flea came to the top
When she put the sugar in the flea went POP!!

UGH!!! I'd thought of one before I read down the thread and it's totally gone now!

My age do you think?

......what about

mix a pancake, stir a pancake, put it in the pan,
cook a pancake, toss a pancake, catch it if you can!

Maybe you could substitute mudpie?! Could get messy!!

Is there anything in Revolting Rhymes that would do or that you could adapt?

What about pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
bake me a cake as fast as you can
pat it and prick it and mark it with 'b'
and put in the oven for baby and me.

That would work with changing the letter depending on the child
(e.g. pat it and prick it and mark it with D' and put in the the oven for Daniel and me)

At sunday school we learned one that goes like this.

God is good to me, (for God point up)
God is good to me, (for good, do thumbs up, then point at me) all good for manual dexterity!
He gives me lips
to eat my chips
God is good to me. Do associated actions

Other verses were

he gives me jelly
to fill my belly

there were loads more verses but I seem to have had a memory lapse. You could definitely make up your own ones tho.

There are a lot of food related songs/rhymes in This Little Puffin

There's one sung to the tune of the Farmers in his Dell

We're going to make a cake, we're going to make a cake
We're going to make it really big,
Because we all like cake

Raisins in the b ow, raisins in the bowl
Stir it with a great big spoon
Raisins in the bowl

Put it in the oven, put it in the oven
Take care not to slam the door
until it's nicely cooked

Icing on the top icing on the top,
Spread it with a big flat knife
Icing on the top

We all have a piece, we all have a piece,
Some for you and some for me
There's some for everyone

And now it's all gone.

There are a lot of songs, there's one to Old MacDonalds Farm

Old MacDonald had a shop,
EIEIO
and in that shop he had some burgers
EIEIO
With a Big Mac here
and a French Fries there
here a coke there a coke
everywhere a coke, coke,
Old MacDonald had a shop
EIEIO
