Season 3 (2021-2022)
episode 0: What’s in Store for Season 3
Welcome to Season 3 of the Kiddos in the Kitchen podcast! Get a sneak peek of what’s in store for the new season.
EPISODE 1: Set Yourself Up for Cooking Success
When you’re cooking with kids (or by yourself), you can take steps to set yourself up for success. Chef Debbie McGiffin explains a few kitchen basics to teach your kids so you all can have a more relaxed (and safe) cooking experience.
EPISODE 2: Food Safety & the Dishes Every Young Chef Should Know
Food safety is important. After all, no one likes salmonella. But as parents, we don’t always feel confident we know what’s important to teach our kids. So, today, food safety expert Lisa Yakas weighs in. Then, four chefs share the dishes they think everyone should know how to cook before they leave home.
Episode 3: holiday baking with kids
Holiday baking is a treasured time for some parents — a dreaded one for others. But professional chef and baker Jackie Bruchez knows holiday baking with kids isn’t about the perfect cookie. It’s about creating memories. And she’s here to help make it fun and doable for all of us. PLUS, meet our first featured cooking kiddo, Chef Ayo Brazier.
Episode 4: Setting an Example
As parents, we can pass down recipes and teach kitchen skills. But perhaps nothing is more important than sharing a love of cooking and time in the kitchen — than the example we set. Martin Diez, a pastry chef with the global chocolate giant Barry Callebaut, shares how he and his wife are doing just that. Plus, learn what a ragu is and the kitchen gadget one chef says could take your cooking to new heights.
Episode 5: The science of fermentation
Cooking is an art that leans into science. Time in the kitchen is an opportunity to teach a life skill and do some fun experiments, too. Today, Phoebe von Reis shares her insights on fermentation and how to make this kitchen activity an interesting one for the whole family. Plus, she gives her take on what makes a perfect sourdough.
Bonus: Small Plate Revisited: A Kiddo Makes Banana Bread
Let’s go back to Banana Bread Day 2021 and our special Small Plate episode. Follow along as we bake banana bread with a 6-year-old.
Episode 6: Kitchen Personalities
Alison Settle, executive chef at Barn8 at Hermitage Farm in Kentucky, shares what she’s learned about different personalities in the kitchen — and how she prepares to cook with her 5-year-old son, Arlo. Plus, what’s one kitchen gadget she says you don’t ever need? And meet our latest Cooking Kiddo, William White.
