by Junnifa Uzodike and Kristen Miglore
“This is a valuable resource for families looking to nurture independence, confidence, and joy in their children. The introductory sections of each chapter are incredibly informative, practical, and family-friendly. They provide a thoughtful and accessible introduction to Montessori principles and our approach to engaging children meaningfully in everyday activities. The recipes are wonderfully child-centered: simple to follow, approachable for young hands, nutritious, and fun. Highly recommended!”
— JUDI ORION, Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) Director of Pedagogy
FOR CHILDREN FROM 0 TO 6 YEARS OLD
A new book in the series all about practising Montessori in the kitchen at home!
Whilst I wish I could take credit for this new book, it was lovingly created by my beautiful co-author and Montessori educator Junnifa Uzodike, along with food writer extraordinaire Kristen Miglore of Food 52 fame.
This is the book that will bring joy into your home through food, connection, and a whole lot of learning Montessori-style.
Each chapter starts with how to bring Montessori principles into the home from pregnancy right through to 6 years old. The second half of each chapter has recipes from families around the world suitable for each age group.
It’s beautifully designed – not just a cookbook but a way for you to truly connect and be intentional in the kitchen.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The kitchen is the ideal Montessori learning environment at home, and now award-winning cookbook author Kristen Miglore and bestselling Montessori author Junnifa Uzodike team up to create a hands-on guide for parents and children to play and learn together through cooking.
The kitchen is the perfect playground for children to tackle new skills and experience everything—the play, the science, the math, the magic—that preparing food has to offer. New groceries coming in and out. Colorful vegetables being washed and prepped and cooked. Different ingredients being scooped and measured and transformed, with so many points along the way to see, smell, touch, taste, and listen. And endless opportunity for conversation with their grown-ups.
The newest book in the bestselling Montessori series offers parents a new way to think about time spent in the kitchen with their young children, with over 60 delicious, nutritious, interactive recipes. The fun starts before baby is born, with nourishing foods for the pregnant and postpartum parent. The book takes parents through those early months in the kitchen wearing—and talking to—baby while prepping dinner, to creating baby and toddler friendly areas in the kitchen, to developing those first kitchen skills, eating together, and fostering their growing independence in the kitchen.
Children can practice scooping and pouring with Pantry Hunt Granola, exercise agency with Juicy Tomato Caprese, hone fine motor skills with Sweet Potato Gnocchi, and cultivate patience with Blueberry Yogurt Pops. And through it all, experience the Montessori way of growing and connecting in the kitchen.
