Wall Street Journal Recommended Cooking Class for Kids
Ever have that day where 5:00 hits and you just know dinner is going to be late to the table?
You shoo your kids out of the kitchen by any means possible and just hope to get them nourished before the evening event.
When dinner is finally ready, you yell:
“Come set the table! Wash your hands! Here’s your food – eat up, eat up!”
It’s stressful, hectic, and not exactly quality family time.
But what if your kids already knew how to cut carrots and make ranch dip?
What if they had gotten their own snack at 4:00, getting you in the kitchen earlier to start dinner?
And what if, instead of a hindrance in the kitchen, they were actually helpful?
With a tiny investment of time and the right strategy, it may feel like someone waved a magic wand over the dinner table.
“Lack of time is one of the reasons I bought the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse. I knew that getting my kids in the kitchen was going to *save* me lots of time in the long run.
I’ve actually gotten a quicker payback than I expected! The time my kids have saved me in the kitchen has exceeded the time I’ve spent on the classes right from the first week.”
Our Mission is Raising Healthy Kids
Connection
Confidence
Creativity
This video eCourse organizes over 30 basic kitchen skills into logical steps so you can:
- Build strong connections and family memories with your kids in the kitchen.
- Learn vital cooking techniques in fun and memorable ways – we focus on the skills, not the food, so it’s very allergy-friendly!
- Give even your pre-readers recipes they can make all by themselves so they feel confident and empowered (and they’re not in the way while you cook).
- Fight back against the damage processed foods wreak on your family’s health as you enjoy fresh, from-scratch meals for which everyone played a role.
- Empower your children to cook their own healthy meals with a generous measure of creativity so that they are prepared for adulthood (and feel confident being creative in other areas of life too)
- Feel confident introducing sharp knives and stove safety to your kids – and with all the thinking done for you, you may actually enjoy it!
Chef Approved!
As a chef and a mom, the high quality of Kids Cook Real Food and Mrs. Kimball’s commitment to accuracy was just what I was looking for. Other chef volunteers and I are using the curriculum to teach kids in person!
Nutritionist Approved!
The most beautiful gift to give a child is to teach them to cook, how to make healthy food delicious, and to understand how to fuel their bodies healthily. Teaching kids to connect how they feel with what they eat is foundational to health.
Why “Just YouTube It” Doesn’t Work
Sure, you could try to teach kids from free videos you find online.
YouTube has thousands of cooking lessons. Some are great. Many are… not so great.
But here’s the problem:
No logical progression.
Kids don’t learn to read by memorizing one sentence at a time. They master letters, then words, then sentences. Cooking is the same. Our eCourse is built on a proven, step-by-step skills ladder so your kids gain confidence with every lesson and never get overwhelmed.
Bad habits (and sometimes bad food).
A lot of kid-friendly cooking videos on YouTube teach dangerous knife techniques or focus on sugar-heavy treats. We teach real food, safe methods, and the kind of kitchen confidence you want your kids to carry into adulthood.
The “recipe trap.”
Free content on YouTube often teaches how to make one recipe at a time. That’s fun for a day, but it doesn’t equip kids to go beyond just that recipe. Our lessons focus on skills—so once your kids learn how to sauté, they can sauté anything in any recipe they come across.
No support for parents.
With YouTube, you have to hunt for the right videos, plan the kitchen time, and supervise from scratch. In our eCourse, the “teacher brain” is done for you with printable guides, helpful lists, teaching tips, and age-appropriate expectations. You can relax and focus on connecting with your kids.
Bottom line:
YouTube is a random collection of puzzle pieces. Our eCourse is the whole picture, presented in the right order, so your kids truly master cooking healthy food for life.

How Much do Other Cooking Lessons for Kids Cost?
The Kids Cook Real Food team did a little research and found that if you were to send your kids to an in-person cooking class you should expect to spend between $30-$70 per class (depending on where you are in the country).
Popular subscription boxes that include only a few recipe cards (and sometimes a cooking tool you might not need) generally run $20-30/month, with no instructional videos.
With the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse, each lesson can be done on your schedule with the skimmable PDF lesson plans and engaging instructional videos for less than $3 per lesson with 2 children.
…AND if you have more than two kids to use the course with, that dollar amount is even less because you can use the course to teach them all!
Don’t worry, you don’t have to know a thing about cooking in order to teach your kids with this course. Mrs Kimball has done all the work for you and teaches the skills in the videos, so you can devote as much or as little time to practicing the skills as you please.
You choose your pace. You’ll have access to all the lessons, all the time, anywhere – you can do one a week, one a month, or delay starting until the time is right. Your call!
About The Teacher
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.
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 eCourse, and why I can’t wait to share it with your family.
-XOXO-
Mrs. Kimball
