Our book blends culinary skills with nutrition knowledge—for both child and parent. When a child owns and identifies with a cookbook—one they can use on their own—it stimulates neural connections and builds lifelong skills that extend beyond the kitchen.
Preparing them to take ownership of cooking, allows them to handle challenges and make informed, healthy choices in various aspects of their lives.
