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!)
- Measuring & Following a Recipe Well
- Sharp Knife Skills (5 classes)
- Stovetop & Oven Safety
- Sautéing & Baking
- Flipping Pancakes & Tortillas
- Cooking Rice & Dry Beans
- Experimenting with Seasonings and Creating Meals

Author Biography
I'm Katie Kimball, and as a mom of 4 I hit this point where I was too busy and too stressed out to even think about inviting my kids to help me in the kitchen.
But...I needed help so I could stop being so busy and spend time enjoying my children. For the good of my whole family, it was time to teach my kids to cook.
My educational background is in elementary education and English, but as I began cooking for my children and reading about nutrition, I quickly became a home chef and researcher.
Even though I love cooking myself, sometimes having my kids in the kitchen was as painful as doing crafts and finding glitter on everything two months later.
But I didn't want my kids leaving for college not knowing how to cut a vegetable and ending up relying on frozen dinners the whole time!
I gave myself many pep talks so I'd remember how important it was, and once I began to see the fruits of my labor, I realized I needed to share our methods with more people.
That's why I created the Kids Cook Real Food Course, and why I can't wait to share it with your family.
