Up and Running
Believe it or not, it has only been 3 months since the inception of this little business! It all started with my nine year old daughter announcing that she wanted to take cooking classes for kids. For those of you who have never been to New Hampshire, you know that offerings like “cooking classes for kids” are not exactly on every street corner. You’re probably not surprised to hear that I couldn’t find exactly what I went looking for. What I wanted was basic classes that tap into the richness in learning that cooking classes really provide for kids. Afterall, why not take advantage of a cooking classes opportunities to teach science and chemistry, math, reading, creativity and patience?
As a former caterer and a serial entrepreneur, I have to admit I was intrigued. And the more I played with the idea, the more I came to realize that there are probably other kids out there who have been touched by the cooking craze that is sweeping our country. I’m sure Lauren is only one of a million kids who have decided that she wants to be Rachel Ray when she grows up. For Kids Who Cook was born.
Utilizing the Yahoo! Store format, a little bit of creativity, a cup of enthusiasm and a dash of stupidity, we found the recipe to hit the ground running! So our store is really just getting started. My two daughters and I have added some kitchen tools we can’t live without and a little bit of whimsy to keep the process fun. Do you have any particular kitchen tools you like to use with your kids? Or are there any tools for the kitchen you’d like to see adapted for safety or sizing reasons to be better suited for kids?
