I neglected to say that she already watches the Food Network and bakes often. She made our entire holiday dinner and dessert. I'm looking for a way outside of the home. She prefers to work in the kitchen alone, I think it's her quiet time. We have a good portfolio going of her work. Thanks for all of the advice...much appreciated!

P.S. She never eats what she makes... she just enjoys making things. I've already begun to purchase what I can for her...I'm definitely her #1 cheerleader. Thanks for wishing her well.

At home with you!!!!
Seriously, what a great bonding time you'll have.
Search on-line for recipes and cooking tips. Try allrecipes.com or Kraftfoods.com or better yet, go to the library and check out their world of cook books (a favorite pastime of my youngest son and me) and find easy recipes to start with. Go shopping for the ingredients together and start baking!
What better way to support her talent than by nurturing it!

A few weeks ago my bf and I visited York. There is a very famous tea shop there called Bettys and we went there for lunch. I found a timetable there for their cookery school! Now I won't make any bones about it - the prices weren't cheap and if you don't live in the area getting there could be a problem. However I do think it would be the perfect thing for your daughter! The link is below - it's a bit mega long, so if it doesn't work try www.bettys.co.uk and click Our other websites at the top. They do holiday courses for kids. If you're too late to book you could try ringing them anyway and they may be able to give you some tips.
Good luck to both of you! =)

Since She's thirteen she could learn a lot just from watching and helping you cook. also even if there are not culinary classes in your area right now, try looking up camps that might occur during the summer. These will fuel her love for baking as well as teach her the basics she'll need to learn. I went to one and have been baking ever since. : )

Purchase the Cake Bible cookbook. Let her prepare each and every item in the book. Then move on to other cookbooks in the same field. By the time she's worked her way through these books, she will be familiar with the tools of the trade and you will have purchased most of them, the greatest and best cookbooks on this subject, having read and mastered each recipe, and no ingredient should by this time be new or surprise her. Then she'll whiz through those classes in no time when she's old enough. Enjoy each and every bite your princess makes! Jog in your free time!

Id say start at home. Since its spring let her start her own business. have a stand outside and sell homemade pastry stuff<--the best tastin things ever!
She can be in charge, cashier and the manager.
It'll be good so she can learn how money works and how to deal with costumers. Just stick around and you'll get a brand new house and a mercedes in the garage if she keeps that up.<--inside joke.

I just wanted to support cooking pancakes answer. The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum is amazing. It is more than a home cooking book, it is a technical manual that can be used at many different levels, whether you are a top international chef looking for a quick reference on gluton percentages, or someone starting out wanting to learn things the proper way. Her other books are just as full on, cooks who like their recipes with pretty pictures from the magazine supplements are going to run miles if they were to follow the recipes.
I also use her Bread bible, it takes months to perfect one bread recipe, however, it is the best sourdough withing 50 miles.

other really good references include "the professional chef" from the culinary institute of america. Not many recipes, but excellent descriptions, images and explantions of techniques.

And finally any budding chef needs to have a good understanding of basic french techniques and food knowledge go straight to larousse gastronomique

If she is still interested when she is ready to leave school enrol her in a catering college I did when I was 15 that was 50 years ago and I still love to cook .
It's great that your daughter can cook as many today just use ready meals home cooked "stuff" is so much better good luck to her and her career if this is what she chooses
