Why We Created this Book

I didn’t set out to write a cookbook—I set out to create more connection in my home.

What began as a way to slow down and cook with my daughter became a collection of meals, memories, and moments I wanted to share with other families too.

This book was created in the quiet in-between: during naptimes, after bedtime routines, and in the beautiful chaos of raising two little ones. It’s proof that cooking with kids doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful—it just needs heart.

Cooking Together

We believe cooking is about more than just the food—it’s about connection, confidence, and curiosity. When little hands help, big memories are made.

Every recipe in this book includes built-in tasks for different age groups, so your child can safely join you in the kitchen—no matter their stage.

Kid Helper Guide:

• Tiny Helpers (Ages 2–3): Pour, mix, count, and observe

• Mini Chefs (Ages 4–5): Scoop, sprinkle, and garnish

• Junior Cooks (Ages 6+): Measure, roll, flip, and assist with supervision

Cooking together builds more than meals—it builds life skills, emotional bonds, and confidence with every stir.
