Kids Cooking Alongside You
When COVID caused school cancellations across our country, it left millions of parents in a panic on how to creatively keep our kids busy. For Erin Chase, a busy mom of four boys, it was an opportunity to incorporate her kids into her life of work.
If you’re already familiar with Erin, then you know it’s likely you’ll see a kid or two pop in front of the camera during one of her live cooking shows or on her blog. This time however, Erin’s boys jumped into her latest project and helped her teach kids how to cook all while learning a thing or two themselves.
Learning to Cook with the Whis-Kid Guidebook
The goal? To whisk up confidence and creativity in the kitchen. And your kiddo will soon be a whiz in the kitchen—or, as Erin likes to call them, Whis-Kid.
The Whis-Kid Guidebook offers 21 “cook alongside us” lessons and videos for young chefs of all ages. The curriculum is designed to instill good cooking habits and cultivate valuable life skills in the kitchen. The printed book comes with a printed certificate, as well as sticker sheet to help track your progress through the lessons.
