I am the Chef

I am Chef is a cookbook designed for children aged 2 to 8 years old. Cookbook was created as a set of waterproof and tear-resistant cards made from synthetic recyclable Yupo paper.

The recipe process is illustrated with beautifully images, without the use of text, so that young chefs can cook independently. The entire cookbook is created on Montessori principles and promotes fine and gross motor skills, independence, self-confidence, and logical thinking.

Give your children the opportunity to explore the world of cooking on their own. Though they may need guidance for the first recipe, they'll manage the rest independently.

The recipes are "tested" on children and fully respect the individuality of each child.

In the cookbook, you will find 30 recipes that do not require cooking. All of them are based on simple mixing of ingredients.

We have tried to minimize the use of sharp tools. For cutting, we use a dining knife, an egg slicer, scissors, and for older children, a grater.

Thanks to the variety of tools, children will also learn that there are multiple solutions to every situation :)
