Young minds are easy to mold, so teaching our kids healthy habits early on is vital -- learning to eat a well-balanced diet and getting regular exercise will no doubt benefit them well into adulthood.

The British Government obviously recognizes this -- they've put together a healthy cookbook designed with 11-year-olds in mind -- and they're giving it to them for free. The idea here is to get kids cooking by teaching them safe kitchen practices, as well as providing them with healthy meal ideas that are fresh, delicious, and rich in healthy ingredients like fruit and veg. Hunger-inspiring recipes include vegetable curry, chili con carne, spaghetti bolognese and custard.

Not 11 or British? No need to fret -- you can download the cookbook for free here.
