Although this information is completely outside of the norm in our posts, I wanted to share a new program from one of my clients. This innovative service promotes family-centered fun and learning through a skill we all can use—cooking!
Kitchen Kid, LLC empowers young people to jump into the kitchen and get cooking! Since its launch in 2006, Kitchen Kid has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Sunset Magazine, and NPR (among others). The various kitchen adventures they inspire and host range from workshops and mobile classes to parties, camps, and other fun sources of enrichment. Now, they have launched a new way to bring the fun directly to your front door.
Their latest addition, Raddish, is a monthly subscription box full of culinary adventures especially designed for families. Each inspirational box promotes kids and parents to connect and make memories in the kitchen preparing meals, and at the table enjoying them. Your first Radish kit includes tools, guides, and recipes such as:
- 3 family friendly recipe guides, carefully illustrated for kids, and guaranteed to create a fun kitchen lesson and put a rad-dish on your table. {Panzanella Salad, Quick Pizza Dough, and No Bake Apple Tarts}
- 1 skill card, helping you and your kids learn culinary basics. {Knife Skills: Spider Fingers}
- 2 creative activities, with all the necessary materials, aimed at getting your family sitting, talking, and eating together. {Candle Light Activity and Mealtime Memory Game}
- Table Talk card deck, ensuring fun chatter at your next meal.
- Your grocery list.
- (Subscribe to Raddish for 3 or more months, and you’ll also receive a Raddish apron for your Rad-Kid and the first monthly design of an adorable Raddish patch to be ironed-on to your Raddish apron.)
Raddish is available through Kickstarter, a creative site with a goal to help “kick-start” projects with your help. For centuries, the idea of patronage (where many “sponsors” or “patrons” support an artist or project) has allowed talented artists, musicians, and other creators to survive and thrive. Modeled after that very idea, Kickstarter is full of projects, big and small, that are brought to life through the direct support of people like you. The range of projects varies from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. In addition, Kickstarter allows the creators to retain 100% ownership of their own work.
If you are someone who sees the need for healthy eating, cooking, and connecting together as a family, I encourage you to consider supporting this program, perhaps as gift idea for the holidays.
