Dear Mom,<\/p>\n

Have you been trying to teach your kids how to cook?<\/p>\n

Have you looked at cookbooks for kids\u2026 but gotten frustrated because they\u2019re full of sweet treats and pre-packaged ingredients?<\/p>\n

Are you looking for a way to start bringing the kids into the kitchen without driving yourself insane, or making cooking another boring task on the chore wheel?<\/p>\n

My name is Wardee Harmon. I am the lead teacher for Traditional Cooking School – an online cooking school I created to honor my grandmother\u2019s cooking traditions and preserve them so that future generations can enjoy the health benefits, flavors and fun of traditionally prepared foods.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m the author of Fermenting<\/em> and Complete Idiot\u2019s Guide to Fermenting Foods<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But I wasn\u2019t always a pro in the kitchen. I remember when my kids were little. I had one in my arms, one under my feet, and one standing on a kitchen chair next to me.<\/p>\n

Just trying to get a warm meal on the table was mayhem. I used to daydream about the day when they would be old enough to cook dinner for me\u2026 or even just help a little by peeling carrots and stirring the soup.<\/p>\n

And then that day came. The kids were older, happier, helpful, good fun\u2026 and they could cook! What changed?<\/p>\n

Well, time went by of course. Kids have this funny way of growing taller. (I\u2019m not going to lie, time solves a lot of problems.)<\/p>\n

But the other thing that happened is something I DIDN\u2019T do: I didn\u2019t kick my kids out of the kitchen. The other moms told their kids to \u201cgo play while mommy makes dinner\u201d or yelled, \u201cget out of my way!\u201d<\/p>\n

But I did something radically different: I thought about the different skills you need to run a kitchen, organized them by age and ability, and then started teaching the kids to cook. It was slow going at first. And there were a lot of messes.<\/p>\n

But eventually, I settled on a system that worked for my whole family. The littlest one could push the buttons on the blender. The middle one could chop, sort, and stir. And the oldest could debone a chicken better than a world-class chef.<\/p>\n

I found myself wondering, \u201cCould this system work for other families?\u201d<\/p>\n

So, I contacted my friend Jami Delgado at Eat Nourishing. And we got to work.<\/p>\n

We polished the techniques, organized the tools, developed recipes, made videos, and took darling pictures of our kids making pancakes in the kitchen. It was a blast!<\/p>\n

One of the myths of \u201cmommy-ing\u201d is that the best moms are just born that way. They can cook, clean, read bedtime stories, and teach character lessons\u2026 all at the same time.<\/p>\n

But the truth is, running a home is a learn-on-the-job crash course in teamwork, creativity and generosity. And that plays itself out every day in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

My kitchen struggles came down to 2 things:<\/p>\n
