SKILLS THAT BUILD ON EACH OTHER

THREE WAYS IT ALL CLICKS

songs + workbook + skill videos, working as one

๐ŸŽต
Sing It

A whole library of songs — one for each cooking skill, not just the anthem. Kids can’t stop humming them, so the technique sticks before they ever pick up a knife.

๐Ÿ““
Work It

Digital or physical workbooks guide each lesson with prompts, checklists, and space to jot discoveries. Kids track progress and own what they learn.

๐ŸŽฌ
Cook It

One skill per video, kept short and clear — crack an egg, hold a knife, plate a dish. Bite-size and rewatchable, so kids build real confidence at their own pace.

REAL INGREDIENTS. REAL SKILLS.

LEARNING THAT
SOUNDS LIKE FUN

Culinary learning songs that teach your child effortlessly and subconsciously. When a skill comes up in the kitchen, they’ll remember the song — and the confidence that came with it.

There are 23 songs out now, with new ones rolling out until every technique in the book has a track of its own. A growing soundtrack that turns cooking into second nature, so check back often.

THE FACES IN THE KITCHEN

Led by Chef Blake Beshore — a working chef and educator — alongside a cast of characters your kids will get to know lesson after lesson.

Chef Blake Beshore
Chef Blake Beshore
Founder & head instructor

Blake Beshore is the author of the James Beard Award–winning book Notes From A Kitchen and a professional chef who spent time in fine dining, food manufacturing with Small Batch Foods, and culinary instructing before turning his attention to the most important kitchen of all — the one at home.

As a dad of four — two sets of twins — Blake saw firsthand how cooking together changed the way his children thought about food. The picky eaters got braver. The timid ones got curious. Every arm burn, finger cut, or burnt pancake became a moment to celebrate, not correct. What started as family dinner prep turned into something the kids genuinely loved, and they kept asking for more.

That’s when Blake realized these techniques and lessons shouldn’t stay in one kitchen. He built Junior Chef Society — the songs, workbooks, and videos — so every family can experience the same magic: kids who feel confident, curious, and creative around food.
