San Francisco, CA, November 20, 2020: The all-in-one home cooking platform, SideChef, and Step Stool Chef the dedicated hub to building kids’ confidence and independence through cooking have partnered to offer on-demand cooking classes for kids on SideChef Premium. These comprehensive classes are made for kids by kids with a focus on kitchen safety, designed to empower kids to build confidence and be leaders in the kitchen and beyond.
“In these uncertain times, what is certain is that home cooking has become an essential part of everyday life, even for kids, and we are dedicated to persistently innovate with renowned partners like Step Stool Chef to help kids start their cooking journey with a strong foundation,” said Kevin Yu, CEO, and Founder of SideChef. “Teaching the future generation life skills early on in their childhood development means we are fulfilling our mission to empower even the youngest of eaters everywhere to cook great food.”
Step Stool Chef Cooking School for Kids, brought to you by SideChef Premium is broken down into two class modules. Within both modules, not only will kids learn essential cooking skills, but also how to integrate math, science, and reading into the overall cooking experience. These classes are designed to be easy to follow, engaging, and most importantly, entertaining for kids. As distance learning and homeschooling becomes a reality for many kids across America, these on-demand cooking classes are a great complement to the new reality of present-day at-home education.
“I want to help kids build their cooking skills and confidence while creating great family time memories for everyone that may be at home due to the current pandemic,” said Julian Frederick, CEO, and Co-founder of Step Stool Chef. “The Step Stool Chef teaches kids to be leaders in the kitchen, providing tools and solutions for them to learn to cook in a safe space with little to no help from parents. At the Step Stool Chef, the kids are the chefs, parents are the assistants.”
