Author Description

Want your kids to be hard-working, independent, healthy adults? You can do it all while making dinner - together. The Kids Cook Real Food Cooking Class Curriculum will help your children discover and nurture their strengths, learn how to make something out of ingredients without anyone else's help, and know how to feed themselves healthy food as they grow into adulthood. Inside you'll find a complete curriculum for teaching kids to cook, including lesson plans to present over 30 basic skills, allergy-friendly recipe suggestions, memorable safety phrases on flash cards, and a Curriculum Map to keep you organized. The book is a companion to the full Kids Cook Real Food eCourse video series, but it can be used on its own. Skills are presented in a logical order, starting with fine motor work at age 2 and progressing all the way to creating meals in upper elementary. Lessons include: Peeling Veggies Spreading (3yos make PB&J by themselves!)
