I’m not sure if you could hear me shouting for joy in celebration all the way from my computer here in Nebraska, and just be ever so grateful that you couldn’t see me dancing with happiness. (I have no idea how to dance – it ain’t purty.)
I’m always excited when I complete a new ebook for our shop, but just as with the Learn Your Letters, Learn to Serve curriculum kit I completed last year, these two new books: Learn to Cook and Teaching Your Kids to Cook were a much bigger project and took up a lot more time than a typical ebook. Completing these projects has been a huge endeavor, and I’m so thankful to my family who has lovingly supported and helped me in extra ways over the past few months.
I love writing and have enjoyed everything I’ve written up to this point, but I have to say that writing Learn to Cook and Teaching Your Kids to Cook has been my most enjoyable writing experience ever! I put my heart into these books, writing what I would have loved to receive as a youth, and writing what I feel will help parents most as they teach their kids to cook. My goal has been to inspire, encourage and to give you tools to equip your kids with the skills they need in the kitchen. And of course, if I can help anyone learn to love cooking and serving others with the gift of food, that would just be the icing on the cake!
Teaching Your Kids to Cook is written for parents who desire to spend time helping their children learn their way around the kitchen. Filled with instructions, tips, activities, printables and over 45 simple, kid friendly recipes – you and your kids will have many opportunities to make messes together and get chocolate in your hair. Here’s hoping your kids learn how to put basic meals and treats together and learn to serve others too!
Learn to Cook is written to anyone old enough to use a stove (I’d say ages 8 and up). Not only for kids, this book is also helpful for adults who are new to cooking. This book can be handed directly to “the student” and while you should certainly be available to guide them along as they learn new kitchen skills, your sons and daughters, newlyweds and cooking novices can read Learn to Cook on their own and take off with all of the new skills they are learning! From measuring to menu planning to grocery budgeting – this book covers all the kitchen basics. Not to mention, it includes over 55 simple to prepare recipes!
Our goal is to offer these books (both downloadable and printed varieties) in our shop this weekend!!!! (Uh-oh, I feel a happy dance coming on again.) We’ll share free samples of the books so that you can peek inside get a better idea of what the books include. We’ll also put together a package deal so that if you feel that both books match your families needs, you can buy them at a discount.
While we put on the final touches, let’s celebrate with a giveaway! We’ll give away one copy of each book (the downloadable copy) and will announce the winners on Friday, July 29.
If you’re interested in winning one of these books, leave a comment on this post letting us know which book sounds the best for you and your family.
If you’re interested in joining me in my happy dance, feel free to jump right out of your chair and participate. Just don’t be surprised if my clumsy dancing knocks you over. I apologize in advance.
This giveaway is now closed – click here to purchase these books!
Teaching Your Kids to Cook would be perfect fro us. We have children ages 10 weeks, two years, 4 years and 6 years. Joining in your happy dance!
Learn to Cook would be wonderful!
Congratulations on getting it done!
Teaching Your Kids to Cook is very interesting to me! I have a little one and really want him to love cooking and not be afraid of the kitchen. I was not really shown how to cook and have had to learn now that I have a family to feed!
Teaching Your Kids to Cook would be perfect for helping our four little boys (oldest is 6) to find more enjoyment with helping in the kitchen!
Learn to Cook would be great – my 7 yr old daughter would be thrilled to have something like that!
Teaching Your Kids to Cook would be a great book for our home! We love your Preschool Curriculum here!!! :)
Learn to cook would be wonderful for my family. I have 16 year old son that I need to work with before I send him off to college. Love your website!!
Thank you for your generosity. We are interested in reading How To Cook. Maybe it could teach the whole family something new that we didn’t know we didn’t know!
I am so excited these books are almost finished. My daughter would be delighted with either one of the books. She is 10 and would probably like the older kids one better, but I am interested in both of them. Are the same recipes in both books?
Thank you, thank you for all your hard work.
Teaching your kids to cook would be perfect for my family, my kids are 7, 5 & 2.
Thanks Laura!

Teaching Your Kids To Cook would be awesome for my family, especially to supplement my preschool teaching this fall with Learn Your Letters, Learn to Serve (which I already own!).

My kids love to cook with me!

Teaching Your Kids to Cook, please! Thanks so much.
Teaching your kids to cook (younger version) would be most helpful with my 6 year old special needs grandson and his 2 year old little sister. He does well with pictures when learning something new. Much easier for him to remember with recognition. They both love to help Oma (me) in the kitchen.
I think the Teach Your Kids to Cook book sounds wonderful! My 3 year old son loves to help me cook and it’d be great to have some kid friendly recipes to teach him with. I’m excited! (And congrats!)

I would love the Learn to Cook book for my oldest daughter!
Learn to cook would be a wonderful addition to my daughter’s curriculum for this upcoming year!

I have doing a lot of thinking on this topic lately! I have three little ladies who love to be in the kitchen! (ages 5, 3 & almost 2) I need a better idea of what is appropriate for what age in cooking. Right now they are really good at dumping ingredients in!
I have been cooking my whole life and have raised my kids doing the same. I would love some great e-books to help me help them learn how to cook.
Thanks for all your great recipes and all that you do on this blog.
“Teaching Your Kids To Cook” would be a book our family could use for years as our kiddos are little.

Congratulations!! Teaching kids to cook sounds like just what I need. I hate having my kids cook with me, but of course they love it. I can always use new tips to help me be a little less uptight when we’re in the kitchen together.
These both look fantastic!! Can’t wait to check them out in the shop!!! I would love either! I definitely need to know more on the cooking front myself and my kiddos love helping in the kitchen!
Teaching Kids to Cook sounds like it will be excellent. I love coking with children!!
They both sound wonderful! Since my first (we only have one so far) is only 1, I would love the Teaching Your Kids to Cook book. He already loves being “Mommy’s big boy helper” and I’m looking forward to getting him involved in the kitchen and house when he really CAN help. And not just with closing doors. :-)
I’d love teaching kids to cook! My 4 year old son likes to “help” me in the kitchen, which usually means tasting everything. He does make a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

Teaching your kids to cook! I need to provide my 2 year old with more opportunities to “help” in the kitchen!
My twelve year old son loves the title of your book and is learning to cook now. He left the previous comment. I wanted to add… do you have a sample of the book Learn to Cook somewhere?
I’ll be providing a sample this weekend when we put it in the shop. I’ll share a link for the sample in my post announcing that the books are on sale. :)
Do I have to pick just one that I would like a free copy of?? =) Both of these seem perfect for my family! I have a 5yo and almost 2yo, so “Teaching your Kids to Cook” would be great!
However, I do not feel like I cook or use the kitchen to my full ‘potential’ yet, so “Learn to Cook” would be a great read for me as well. Congrats to you!

Congrats! I have been anxiously awaiting the release of both books. Its timing is perfect for our family. As I was preparing for the upcoming school year, there was something that struck me. My girls need to learn how to run a family and I was neglecting that. I want to get them more involved in meal prep. Learn to Cook sounds like a great tool to help me do that.
Awesome idea! Love your site! Would love to have a copy of Teaching your children to cook.
I would love teaching your kids to cook my two year old runs around with his chair in the kitchen asking to cook every day
“Learn to Cook” would be good for me since I could share it with hubby and use it to encourage him as he tries to learn to cook. (Our son is not a year yet so I’ve got a little while before he will be learning to cook but I do explain what I’m doing and show him food, etc. while we’re in the kitchen making meals.)
Teaching your kids to cook!

I’d love to win “Teaching Your Kids to Cook” book.

Congrats! It must feel great to get these off the ground! I’d be most interested in teaching your kids to cook as it is something we can start with our little guy right away!
Thanks,
Heather
“Teaching Your Kids to Cook,” would be best for us. They’ll have to eat the rest of their lives and it needs to be healthy and they might be feeding my grandbabies some day! More immediately, my eldest has many, severe food allergies and he needs to know how to take care of himself in preparation for Momma not always being there.
Teaching your kids to cook would be great for my young family. My four-year-old already loves to be in the kitchen with me!
Teaching your kids to cook sounds like what I’ve been looking for.
i home school my 5 year old and have been looking for something to help her with math and in the kitchen she is always wanting to help. and with us being so far away from family i think this book Teaching your kids to cook would be a wonder full thing to do with her. and would be an awesome co-op class for kids and there parents
thanks for lessening
Teaching your Kids to cook would be perfect for us! My 18-month old already loves to help in the kitchen.
I would love to win “Teaching Your Kids to Cook”… they look great!
I would love having “Learn to Cook”.
Teaching Your Kids to Cook would be for us. I have 4 little ones all under 8. They love helping mama, we bake together and they help me prep food for breakfast lunch and dinner but I would love some instruction of how to invlove them in a way that teaches them, allows them to have fun with out me losing my mind, hehe. Can’t wait to get the Learn Your Letters, learn to serve. Our church is going to use it for the 2-3’s curriculum.
I would love to get a copy of Teaching your kids to cook!!! I have a four year old and almost two year old and I would love to let them help me but I get frustrated because I can do it faster myself. I would love some practical tips on how to include the kids in meal preparation and simple recipes would give us an opportunity to cook together. Thanks!!!
I’d love the Teaching Your Kids to Cook cookbook, my boys LOVE to help me in the kitchen!
I would love the book “Learn the cook” for my 8 year old who suddenly has so much interest in the kitchen I hardly know what to do. He loves cutting up veggies for all of us for snacks and he keeps asking me when I’m going to teach him how to use the stove. This sounds like the perfect book to get him started.
I like the Learn to Cook book
I want the Learn To Cook for my daughter.
I would love “Teaching your kids to cook”. My oldest two cook with me every Sunday night (they alternate Sundays so we have some one-on-one time). They love looking through cookbooks to decide what to make — usually desserts. I think it would be great for them to have their ‘own’ cookbook to choose from. Maybe we could even move past weekly desserts!
I would like Learn to Cook for my daughter. Thanks for the opportunity!
Teaching your kids to cook! :)
Congratulations!
My girls are 2 and 6, so Teaching Your Kids to Cook sounds perfect for us!
My daughter loves to “help” cook. These would be great to teach her more!!!
I’d love the Teach Your Kids to Cook as my sons are of the ages in which they actually WANT to help cook! :-) Thanks for all your hard work on these books, Laura!
Congrats on your books! They both sound fabulous! I would probably pick the “Teach Your Kids to Cook” one.
I need to learn how to cook :)
I need to learn to cook before I teach my kid to cook! haha! Both books sound wonderful!
“Teaching Your Kids to Cook,” sounds like the perfect fit for our family. Thanks for the opportunity.
That’s a hard choice…I think I’d want the Teach Your Child to Cook
I have to choose?! :-) Guess I’ll choose Learn to Cook for now, since I’m relearning how to cook with real and whole ingredients lately. Congratulations on your accomplishment! And thank you so much for all your wonderful advice and recipes! It’s truly been a huge blessing to me during this time.
Teach Your kids to cook. I love to cook and my kids like to help!
It would be great to have the teaching your kids to cook so I can have fun with my little kids in the kitchen.
I would love either book. “Teaching Your Kids to Cook” would be great for my 5 & 8 year old but “Learn Cook” would be great for my 11 year old. But since I have to choose then “Teaching Your Kids to Cook” would work for all 3.
I’d love a copy of the Teach your Kids to Cook book. Sounds like it’s full of great ideas, and while I already cook with my kids, new ideas are always welcome!
Congrats, Laura!
My daughter will be turning two in a couple of months, I’d love to get a head start with Teaching Your Kids to Cook! She loves being in the kitchen with me!
They both sound wonderful! But with a 6yo, 4yo 2yo (and baby!) the Teaching Your Kids To Cook would be extremely helpful :-)
Congratulations on finishing both books! I would love to win Learn to Cook!
I am always looking for new, interesting ways to get the kids involved in the kitchen. I would love to check out your book on teaching kids to cook.

Would love the Learn to Cook one!!
I would love to teach my kiddos (9,8, and 2) to cook!!
I could use both books….but would love the Learn to Cook book for my 9 year old son! It would be great for him to learn to do more things all by himself in the kitchen!
I have a 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl. Both of them watch me cook all of the time, but I am usually in a hurry and letting them help is usually an after-thought. Maybe doing a recipe for the first time together would give me a push in letting them help in the kitchen. :)
“Teaching Your Kids to Cook” would be so much fun for me and my daughter this coming school year! And it’s my birthday tomorrow, so this would be a birthday present! Hehe!
teaching your kids to cook! over here i have two boys – 3 yrs and 15 months… and hopefully more on the way soon.
Teaching your kids to cook

I would love both and will probably buy them as soon as you put them in the shop. Would love to win them even more. My husband and I are changing the way we eat and the second book would be an awesome support and guide to get us doing it the right way. But I also have two little girls that we are starting to homeschool and would so love to use the kids one this next year. Also anything you write Laura is good so I can’t wait to read these new books.
Teaching kids to cook
Oh they both look great but I think my kids would love Teaching Your Kids to Cook.
I would love either one – I will just have to say Teaching Your Kids to Cook.
I have a little one and two big ones. So, either one is good with me!!!
Either of these books would be great for us. I have a 5 y/o and a 12 y/o that would love the Teaching Kids to Cook book. Also, I have a 15 y/o that would benefit from the Learn to Cook book, plus I am trying to change the way my family is eating and turn to more whole foods. I need all the help I can get!
I would love to win the Teach Your Kids to Cook book! I have an almost 4 yo DS who is always trying to help me cook, but usually what I’m cooking isn’t very little kids friendly. I’d welcome any help your book could give! Thanks!!!
My kids would love these!

I’ve got a 4 yr old and a 6 month old. I’d love “Teaching Your Kids to Cook”!

Learn to cook would be perfect!!
They both sound great, but the Teaching your Kids to Cook sounds would be the most awesome!

The teaching your kids how to cook would be perfect for us right now, as my boys are all just coming into those ages!
Both books sound great! I’d probably choose “Teaching Your Kids to Cook” so I could use it for Home Ec this next school year.
Would love to get a copy of the Learn to Cook
Would love love love the teaching your kids to cook…my daughter loves to help in the kitchen but I am….well not the best at teaching her how to cook! (maybe this will help!)

Both of these sound wonderful, but my first choice is the Learn to Cook…Because You Gotta Eat book. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to read learn to cook. I am just learning to cook and think this would really help me.
Teaching Your Kids to Cook sounds wonderful!
Congratulations Laura! Way to go completing your two new books! Either of these will be great for my family – my youngest is 5 and loves to help in the kitchen, and my oldest is 19 and leaving to join the Navy in January. I can’t wait to read your hard work!
Both sound great! I am sure that I could use the “Learn to Cook” book. Thanks for the opportunity!
I’m all over Teaching Your Kids to Cook! I have two little boys (so far) and my scheme is that as soon as they turn 5, they’ll be responsible for a meal a week. I figure if we keep that up, once they head to college, they’ll make all sorts of friends really quick. :-)
I would love the teaching your children to cook book. I have two little ones that would benefit from it.
Teaching Your Kid to Cook!
My daughter and i would enjoy the learn to cook one :-)

I would love to win! The kids book has special appeal to me.
I hope to win “Teaching your kids to cook”. Thanks!
I’d love to win “Learn to Cook”. My boys are Scouts and can cook most things on an open fire but get them in the kitchen and they are still uncomfortable! LOL.
Teaching Your Kids to Cook sounds like so much fun but maybe I should learn my way around the kitchen and the grocery store a little better first. I would love Learn to Cook because I feel like I am capable of cooking but I really just don’t know what I am doing. I’ve been married 12 years next month and have four children it’s about time I get this part of my life together : )
Teaching your kids to cook would be great!!
These look like wonderful resources.
I’d love Teaching Your Kids to Cook! :-)
I would love the Teach your child to cook. I have four children and they like to “help” me in the kitchen :)
Thanks for all your hard work!
Yay! So exciting! We’d love the one for younger children. :)
Would love your instruction on teaching my kids to cook.
This looks so neat, I would love to have “Teaching Your Kids to Cook” as my 2 year old son is so desparate to help me cook tea most nights and some times I am at a loss of what I could be teaching him and this looks perfect :).
Teaching your Kids to Cook
Congratulations on finishing these projects!! You go girl!!!
I would win Love to Cook! These both sound great!
Oops that I meant to say I would love to win Learn to Cook.
I would love to have the learn to cook book to give my daughter who is going away to college this fall!
great job getting it all finished Laura, I’ve been looking forward to this post!!!
Teaching your kids to cook sounds great to me!
Laura – way to go on the books! I would love to get Teaching Your Kids to Cook – most cookbooks for children are all about processed foods, white bread, white sugar and junk. How fabulous to have a cookbook that teaches them to use great ingredients!
Yay for completing them! I’m sure you are relieved! I’d like the teaching your kids to cook book.
Teach your kids to cook would be great, I have four kids and never let them help cuz I never know what or where to start!
woud love to win these books…I so enjoy your writing
I would love to win Teaching your Kids to Cook! My 7 year old and 3 year old always want to help out in the kitchen and I need some pointers!
Oh such fun! I know my little girl would love to learn how to cook and we have a friend’s wedding coming up — a great gift to encourage healthy eating!
I would definitely enjoy using the “teaching your kids to cook” book with my 3 year old niece. She is so much like her Aunt Bina…loves to be in the kitchen!
I think “Learning to Cook” would be a great B-day gift for my son turning 7! He is all about healthy choices and loves mommy’s home made food! (so he says :)) But I do have a 4 and soon to be 7 year old so the “Teaching your Kids to Cook” would be great too! So Either! :)
I would love to win a copy of either one. Thanks for the chance.
I would love to win either of these. If I had to choose, I guess I would pick the Learn to Cook book. Thanks!
I would like to win the kids’ book. I have wanted to buy it since I first heard about it. Thanks for the giveaway.
Since my kids are still small, I think “Teaching Your Kids to Cook” would be best for our family. Although sometimes, I think I might need to read “Learn to Cook” for myself!
I have a friend who gave himself food poisoning when he tried to cook who could use the Learn to Cook book. :)
Who WOULDN’T want to win one of your books?
I would love the learn to cook book!
Definitely the teaching the kids one – I’m going to be starting that process very soon!
“Teaching your kids to cook” sounds like alot of fun.
I would love the teaching your kids to cook book.
Both books sound terrific! I would love to win “Learn to Cook”. Thank you for the giveaway!
Both books sound fantastic, but I would pick Teaching Your Kids To Cook
“Teaching Kids to Cook” would come in very handy at our house. I have 3 little sisters who enjoy “helping” in the kitchen :)
Both books are great! I think that the Learn to cook book is the one I would pick. I am still learning.
Congratulations! Both sound great, but if I had to choose one it would be Teaching Your Kids to Cook. Thanks!
Both sound fabulous–but if I had to choose just one, I’d have to say Teach Your Kids to Cook.
Honestly, they both sound fantastic, so I hate to choose! However, after reading some of your previous posts (just discovered your page yesterday), I’m feeling a bit inadequate cooking department… So, maybe the Learn to Cook one. :) Thanks for they chance!
Oops! *in the cooking department*
Teach you kids to cook! I would love my boys to help more around the kitchen,
I would love to win ” teaching your kids to cook”.
I would love to win the “Learn to Cook” book, as I am new-ish to cooking and am trying to teach my children to cook too. I’m really enjoying trying out some of the recipes on your site! Thanks for the giveaway.
Yay!!! They look great! So excited for you! (and me:) Would love to have Learn to cook for my older kids.
The teaching your kids to cook sound great. My duaghter (5) loves to help me cook in the kitchen.
My boys (and I) would love Learn to Cook! Thank you for creating these two books! Cookbooks that are kid friendly and full of whole-foods recipes are definitely needed!
“Teaching your kids to cook” sounds fun to me!
I would love to win the “Teaching Your Kids to Cook” ebook! Congrats on getting these books completed. I’m sure my family will enjoy both books!
I think Learn to Cook would be great for our family! Congratulations on finishing this project.
I love the sound of “Teaching Your Kids to Cook.”
Just yesterday I added “teach kids to cook” to my list of classes for our homeschool schedule for this upcoming school year! So naturally I WOULD LOVE TO WIN “Teaching Your Kids to Cook,” because it would certainly make it easier for me, not to mention much more fun for them.
THANKS for writing the book and offering it as a give-away. I hope I win, but if I don’t, I’ll be buying it :)
I am 33 years old & I REALLY need to learn how to cook myself before teaching my kiddos!!
So happy for you, Laura! And for us– both books sound great and I think I need both :-) My daughters love to help, but they are so young that I am hesitant to give them any tasks, and I am really working hard to establish good eating habits at home, but it’s a bit overwhelming to know where to start and make the changes. I’m looking forward to reading the new ebooks!
Thye both sound great, but I think I would pick Teaching Your Kids to Cook.
Honestly, either book would be great! I’ve been looking for a cookbook/cooking curriculum for use in homeschooling my boys, but most of those are for girls. Knowing that you have all boys is so great, because that means these books are great for boys (or girls)! I am so excited about both of these books! Knowing that you wrote them means they are full of healthy recipes, too! Whoopee!!!! Thank you so much for all of your hardwork, Laura
Learn to Cook would be a wonderful addition to our family! Thank you!
Teaching your kids to cook would be a lovely addition to our family. I have a 2 year Old and she loves to cook while i am cooking. I would like to learn the siple receipes which i can cook together with my daughter.
Both sound wonderful! I have a 9 year old boy and a soon to be 16 year old boy. I would love for them both to be able to leave home and not starve to death, LOL!!! So probably teaching your kids to cook.
Teaching your kids to cook! I enjoy having my 2 and 5 year old in the kitchen with me, but I sometimes struggle with how to let them both “help” at the same time. It gets a little crazy! Maybe this book can give me some pointers.
Either book would be wonderful. I’m not the best cook ever and could always learn more myself. And we have our first baby on the way, so I will want to teach him to cook as well (once I learn!).
Either book would be great, but I think I’d want the Learn to Cook book to give to my 10 year old daughter. :) She loves to be in the kitchen helping me.
Either book would work for our family! I’m working on my healthy cooking skills myself, as I was raised on Spaghetti O’s, white bread, and white pasta. “Learn to Cook” would be pretty helpful for me. I also have a five year old and one year old that I’d like to teach some survival cooking to so that they don’t end up like me – a 25 year old mom of two with only a couple good meals that I can make!
Teaching Your Kids to Cook sounds great to me. My 2.5-year-old loves to help already, but it would be nice to find more fun stuff that he can do. He’s actually a great little helper when he wants to be. Thanks for the opportunity!
Teaching kids would be more appropriate for my kids but I would love either! This will be our first year homeschooling and, since my daughter is only 4, our focus is less academic. Our plan is grammar/memory CDs through Classical Conversations, basic phonics, character and learning more intentionally in the kitchen! All of that to say that your timing could not be more perfect!!!! Thank you!
I would love both but I think the Teaching your kids to cook would help out my boys. Thanks for the giveaway!
Either one would be great and a blessing!
I would love the learn to cook book! So excited!
I would love to get the Teach your kids to cook book, I have 5 under the age of 9 and need all the help I can get in teaching them!
I would love to teach my children more about cooking! The teaching your kids to cook would be great!
So excited you finished these up! Since you know I do all my e-book shopping for our Children’s Ministry I would definitely love the Teaching Your Kids to Cook book! Congrats on finishing. I imagine that’s a great relief.
I would love to win Love to Cook. Our family is trying to go from regular cooking to whole wheat cooking and would love some more whole wheat recipes to cook.
Congrats on the new books! I think the Teaching Your Kids to Cook book would be the one I would choose. Thanks!
Learn to Cook would be fun for us as a self study for older children.
Oh my goodness! I’d love to have either book! They both look great!
Teaching your kids to cook sounds right up my alley! Thanks!
Either book would be great! My boys are older (10 and 6) and very curious about learning to cook. I’m just not so sure where to start! lol thanks!
Learn to Cook sounds awesome! It would teach me to teach others how to cook…does this make sense?!
Oh they both sound so wonderful! But my first book would be Learn to Cook because my daughter would be so happy to be in there alone! :-)
Kori
I would love this for my 4 year old daughter!! She really likes helping me cook.
My oldest is 3 and she LOVEs to help in the kitchen. I have her help measure and mix, but I’m not sure how else to involve her. I would love to have Teaching Your Kids to Cook.
Yay! So glad you got them done!!!! How do I decide?! I would love the “Teach your kids to cook” book but I want to be selfish and get the “Learn to cook” book because I want to learn how to cook like you:) Such a tough decision. Either would be great!
yay! i’ve been anxiously awaiting these and would LOVE to win one! actually who am i kidding, i’m planning on buying them both anyway but this way it’s buy one get one free haha.
I would LOVE to win “Learn To Cook”–as I am new to cooking with whole foods, and still have LOTS to learn! (And if I win this one, I’m also buying the other!) :)
I would love either book. I am in the process of teaching my 8 yr old daughter to cook, but have a 3 yr old too and need the other book for my 12 yr old son that knows some cooking basics, but would love his own book to learn without having to ask me. I am so excited about these books!
Teaching your kids to cook would be great, but I would get use out of the other too!
I would love to win a copy of “Learn to Cook” for my 8 yr old daughter. It would be a great addition to this year’s curriculum!
While I could use both books, Teaching Your Kid to Cook would be awesome for my 8, 7, 5, and 3 year olds and pretty soon our 6 month old :)
I would love to have the Teach your kids to cook cookbook! That is right in out age group here! :) Thank you so much forall that you share on your website. I very much enjoy it! :)
Teaching your kids to cook! My daughter, almost 5, loves to help in the kitchen and I would love to have recipes and ideas for her to do herself!
Please enter me for the Teaching Your Kids to Cook! How fun!!!
Love the “Teach Your Kids to Cook” book! What a treasure!
I would love to have either of these books. My 9 and 11 year olds could use either one, and my 1 and 2 year olds will soon(ish) be ready to cook with me.
Would enjoy the Teach your kids to cook.
Teach your kids to cook would be great for my two 8 year olds. I’ve been wanting to do more with them in the kitchen, so this would be great. Thank you for the possibilities.
I think that “learn to cook” would fit best with our family. Thanks!
Praying for the Lord’s blessing on both projects. I’d love a copy of either. Thanks
Teaching your Kids to Cook” sounds right for us, my son is 3 :)
I’d love either book! The one for kids would work great for our family, but I also know some college-age girls who would love the other one!
Great giveaway and gratuitous books! We’d love the “Teaching Kids to Cook”
I would love the Teaching your kids to cook ebook!! Awesome, Laura :-)
Would love to have “learn to cook”. Always want to learn! :o)
They both sound really interesting. I think I would choose Learn To Cook. Thanks for the giveaway!
Ooo! They both sound great! I bet my 4 year old would really benefit from the “Teaching Your Kids To Cook”. He loves to help me in the kitchen.
I am interested in both! My 4 boys range in ages from 5-15 and they all love to help in the kitchen.
The “Teaching Your Child To Cook” one sounds awesome!
Would love either one of these books
“Teaching Your Kids To Cook” would be an awesome addition to my library! Thanks for the chance to win :o)
Nicole
Although we could definitely benefit from both books I think the “Learn to Cook” would be the one to choose.
Thanks for all you do. I have benefitted so much from you site.
What a fabulous idea! Would love to have either of these books to use with my kids.
Both! Hmmm… maybe the “Learn to cook,” but I also have four boys ages 1-9 that I would love to teach how to cook. So, I guess either one would be good for our family. Thank you!
The “Teach Your Kids to Cook” would be great to have! I have a 5 year old daughter and have been pondering how best to go about teaching her to cook. I want her to be extremely comfortable in the kitchen with whole foods by the time she leaves my home at 18!
I would love to have “Learn To Cook” for my family. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would love the Teach your Kids to Cook. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I would love Teaching Your Kids to Cook. Perfect for my 3 and 5 year old boys. Thanks!!
The books look fabulous and while I love working with my children in the kitchen, I think my “almost” 8 yr old would appreciate a cookbook like Learn to Cook so she can have a little more independence.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love either book, but I think I need “Learn to Cook” the most!
As it’s been said….both look great…either would help us (my 8yo daughter and me!!)immensely.
thanks!
Congratulations Laura! The Learn to Cook would be great for my son.
Teach your kids to cook!! But I’d LOVE last year’s PreK book even more!! :)
Stopped doing the happy dance long enough to leave a comment! :) We would love to have either of these books but especially the “Learn to Cook”. I have 3 boys and one has a VERY restricted diet and I am trying to learn how to cook with more natural ingredients.
Laura, you are amazing to write another ebook!! I’d tend to lean toward the Teach Your Kids to Cook…but both are right up our alley!
Both books look amazing! Count me in.
I love cooking with my kids and the teaching your kids to cook would be a great addition to our kitchen.
I would love “teaching your kids to cook”
They look very interesting – I’d love a copy.
I have to say either book would be great. My sister could use the Learning to Cook, and we would like to try out the kids’ book too.
Teach your Kids to cook
My DS keeps asking to learn how to cook
I’d love to read the teaching kids book!
Teaching Your Kids book would be wonderful
I think the Kids book sounds the most interesting, even though my daughter is too young yet (but growing fast!)
These would both be fun to incorporate into our schooling this year. :)
The girls want a cookbook of their own and more teaching in the kitchen…this would fill that need. I already have them in the kitchen and was thinking of making a book for them…yours is already done!!!! Yay!!! I am doing my dance!
I would love “Learn to Cook”. In fact, I’m doing the happy cook dance right now!
I would love to have either of these books.
God Bless! Tina
the books sound awesome! can’t wait for the sneak peek. I’d love the Learn to Cook ebook for my step kids.
Teaching Your Kids to Cook would be great for my family. Thanks for the chance to win it!
I would love “Teaching your child to Cook”!
Either books would be beneficial for our household! With four little ones and a mama who doesn’t necessarily love cooking….well, I can use all the help I can get! :)
Learn to Cook looks like a lot of fun!
I’d like to have either one of these books!
I would love either! I am new to whole foods cooking & I have two little ones to teach!
I would like either book. You are such an inspiration to me. I have been following your blog for about a year now and it has helped me be a better food provider and nourishment provider. I just want to really thank you for the effort that you put into your blog. Thanks for the giveaway.
Teaching your kids to cook! I have a 3 yr old and one due any day!
Hard to choose. Hard to choose. I shall pick: Teaching Your Kids to Cook! :). Thanks. Hope to win!
Both books look great! I’d love to win the ‘Learn to Cook’ one since I have no kids yet to teach cooking. Love your blog!
Learn to Cook would be great for my soon to be 9 year old daughter. She loves to help cook, especially when it’s someone else’s dish night!
You’ve totally outdone yourself! These books look incredible and will be an amazing resource for parents and kids alike. I’d love a chance to win Teaching Your Kids to Cook. Thank you so much!
I would love either, but cooking with my kids sounds like a great time.
Learn to cook would be our choice around here. I’ve been wanting a good whole foods cookbook.
I would love Teaching Your Kids to Cook! We just had bambino #4 a few weeks ago, and I’m thinking I’m going to have to teach my older 2 to cook so we don’t starve in the next few months!!!
Wow – they both sound great but teaching your kids to cook would be awesome!
I love everything you write you are so talented. God has really chosen the correct gifts for you. Your precious family is very lucky. This books will be great and I hope to get to read and use them.
Hooray, Laura! I would LOVE to have Teaching Your Kids to Cook – my 4 year old son loves to be in the kitchen with me. Thanks!
These sound fun for the grandkids!
Congrats! It always feels great to finish a big project! I’d like to win.
I would love either one! I have 15, 11, and 23 month olds and I would love to have them help more with cooking. I am also new at making food from scratch.
Oh my! I would love either book. I have an almost 8 year old and and a 5 year old and 14 month old. I suppose if I absolutely had to pick, I would pick “Learn to Cook”. Thanks so much for the chance at such a great giveaway!!!
I would love the ‘Learn to Cook’ ebook for my girls as well as a niece who is moving out on her own. Thanks for the chance.
I have been learning so much from you. I am really working at getting healthier and cooking more so we can have others in our home more often. These books would be lovely!
I would love to have the one about teaching your kids to cook. I have a 4 year old, a 2 year old and a newborn and I would love for them all to know how to cook…especially my girls. But, I find that I am so uptight when they are in the kitchen that it’s just easier for me to send them out and do it myself. Not a good way for them to learn! :)
My kiddos and I would love to win this.
Both books look fantastic! Count me in :)
Blessings,
Courtney
We would love to win “teach your kids to cook”
Both books look so amazing! I Would loooove either one!
But I do love to cook with my kids!
They both sound great, but I would probably go with Learn to Cook. Gannet loves his kid’s cookbook (he wanted to make Choc. chip muffins the other day) :) I think the boys (and girl due any day now!!) would love the new one too!
Learn to cook! Can’t wait for my 12 year old and 9 year old, who are really into cooking to be able to read it. Happy dancing right along with you!
Our girls would love to get the Learn To Cook book!!!!
Both books look great! I’d love to teach grandchildren to love to cook!
I would love to win this!!
I’d love to win “Learn to Cook” to team up with my 11 year old daughter who enjoys helping in the kitchen. Then, she can pass her wisdom down to her two younger brothers (or at least spoil them with delicious food). Plus, my husband would be thrilled with some new meals!
I would love either one, but the Teaching your kids to cook would be great for me with our kiddos!
Teaching Your Kids To Cook would be fantastic for our growing family! Thanks for putting these together and sharing!
Teaching your kids to cook sounds wonderful. I have a 2 and 3 year old girls who love to cook!
I would take the first one although they both sound great!!!
I would love to check out the Kids in the kitchen book! (And also a happy dance!)
Teaching Your Kids to Cook. I’m a new mom and growing up didn’t really learn to cook. So, I want to make sure my kids know how to cook and cook healthy! Thanks…
I am really interested in your book learning how to cook. I’m a young, single female who has a desire to grow in preparing now for marriage and family. I have a strong desire to grow in my understanding of how to provide healthy, nutrious meals that are budget friendly. Thank you so much for your willingness to share with others what you have learned over the years! Blessings!
Learn To Cook sounds like something my oldest son would really be able to use. He would like to learn to make more than microwave stuff and cold sandwiches. They both sound great, though. Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing both new books in your shop. They both sound wonderful!
I would chose Learn To Cook, as my children can go through it at their own pace, or even work through the book together.
Both look great, good job!!
Lori
What a great way to get the kids to help and learn:)
Teach your Kids!!! I always wonder, since it’s been too long to remember, what I fed my husband when we first got married. I think it had a lot to do with cans and boxes of “food”. I’d love to have my kids know what they are doing before they’ve been out of the house for 10 years, and since I am in the kitchen all the time anyways, might as well get them a head’s start and have them join me!
Both look awesome!! Could use some help!!
Teaching Your Kids to Cook
Would love these!
I would love both!! I can’t cook very well at all and have 7 and 5 year old daughters who are dying to learn. Thanks!
I would LOVE Teaching Your Kids to Cook!!!
I’m wishing I had a Learn to Cook basic book when I got married! But I’d take it now too! ;)
I would love both but since I have to choose (haha), I would choose Teaching your kids how to cook. My 6 and 3 year old love helping me in the kitchen.
