The kitchen is the perfect home Montessori learning environment, and now award-winning cookbook author Kristen Miglore teams up with bestselling Montessori author Junnifa Uzodike to create a perfect guide for parents and kids to play and learn together through cooking. The kitchen is the perfect playground for children to tackle new skills and experience everything?the play, the science, the math, the magic?that preparing food has to offer. New groceries coming in and out. Colorful vegetables being washed and prepped and cooked. Different ingredients being scooped and measured and transformed, with so many points along the way to see, smell, touch, taste, and listen. And endless opportunity for conversation with their grown-ups. The newest book in the bestselling Montessori series offers parents a new way to think about time spent in the kitchen with their young kids with over 60 delicious, nutritious, unexpected interactive recipes. The fun starts before baby is born, with wholesome, easy foods for the pregnant and postpartum parent (that older siblings can help make with love). The book take parents through those early months in the kitchen wearing--and talking--to baby while prepping dinner, creating baby and toddler friendly corners in the kitchen, to developing those first kitchen skills, eating together, and fostering their growing independence in the kitchen. Kids can learn about flavor and practice spreading with Beet Tahini Dip, explore texture with Chunky Ratatouille, experiment with spice variations with Roasted Apples with Warming Spices. As they grow, they can prep and measure out ingredients for Fluffy Lemony Pancakes, and roll the dumplings for Sweet Potato Gnocchi. And through it all, learning about the Montessori way of parenting -- and connecting -- in the kitchen.
