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.
Digital or physical workbooks guide each lesson with prompts, checklists, and space to jot discoveries. Kids track progress and own what they learn.
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.
show up ยท get messy ยท figure it out
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.
Led by Chef Blake Beshore — a working chef and educator — alongside a cast of characters your kids will get to know lesson after lesson.
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.
