It starts at home. ❤️
This is our daughter Katie at four years old standing on a chair in our catering kitchen, (in our basement) mixing together spices, ingredients, and a few things that had absolutely no business being together. 😂
Did it taste good? Absolutely not.
But that wasn’t the point.
The point was letting her create. Letting her touch, smell, mix, taste, ask questions, make a mess, and discover that food can be fun.
Now she’s 22, and looking back at photos like this reminds us that a love and appreciation for food often begins long before someone understands technique, recipes, or fine dining. It begins with being welcomed into the kitchen.
We’ve always believed that getting children interested in cooking starts at home. Give them a spoon. Let them mix the spices. Let them help with dinner. Let them make something terrible. Let them be curious.
Because the kitchen is so much more than the place where meals are made.
It’s where conversations happen.
It’s where traditions are passed down.
It’s where creativity begins.
It’s where memories are made.
Food has a beautiful way of bringing people together and after the heart, we think the next best place in any home is the kitchen.
Teach them young. Let them create. Let them make a mess.
You never know what kind of love you may be stirring up.
