From Picky to Passionate: Helping Kids Love Cooking (and Eating!) | Danielle Kartes (EP400)

What if mealtime could be more than just eating—and actually become one of the best ways to teach kids confidence, responsibility, and creativity? In this episode, I sit down with the author of The Best Kids Cookbook to explore how cooking together can shape not only healthier eating habits, but stronger family connections. We talk about the unique approach her cookbook takes—encouraging critical thinking, recipe flexibility, and adaptations for dietary restrictions—while making the kitchen a fun, welcoming place for all ages. Whether your kids are just starting to stir ingredients or ready to cook a full meal, this conversation will inspire you to see the kitchen as a place of learning, bonding, and joy.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

👩‍🍳 Practical ways to involve kids of every age in cooking tasks

🥗 How family meals foster positive eating habits and connection

🌍 Tips for introducing diverse foods and building adventurous palates

📚 Why flexibility and problem-solving in recipes matter for kids

🏡 How to make meal prep a family ritual, even with busy schedules
