Why Cooking & Baking are Good for Kids​

  • The science is clear: Kids who help cook at home eat better. New research shows that involving kids in meal preparation is directly linked to superior diet quality and healthier habits:​

    • More Fruits & Veggies: A Canadian study found that kids who frequently helped prepare meals ate about one extra serving of fruits and vegetables per day and had higher overall diet quality scores.1
    • They Eat What They Create: Experimental lab studies confirmed this "pride of preparation" effect: children consistently ate more of the food they had prepared themselves (including salads) compared to an identical serving made by someone else.2
    • A Preference for Healthy Food: Kids who frequently help cook at home also report a greater preference for fruits and vegetables and higher self-efficacy for choosing and eating healthy foods.3
  • The kitchen is a clinically proven space for connection—helping families grow closer and kids thrive emotionally through joyful learning. ​

    • Protective Against Emotional Problems: Longitudinal research emphasizes that high-quality family mealtimes are a crucial factor in child development, predicting better diet quality and fewer emotional problems.4​
    • Shielding Well-being: A comprehensive 2023 review highlighted that frequent, meaningful family mealtimes are protective against poorer mental health and well-being in children and adolescents.5​
    • Improved Parent-Child Interaction: Family-based cooking programs are shown to significantly improve children’s cooking skills and lead to better parent–child interactions around food, turning potential battles into bonding time.6

  • Are cooking kits good for kids?​

    Cooking kits aren’t just fun—they’re a science-backed way to help kids eat better, feel better, and grow closer to their families. Kids who help cook at home consistently develop healthier eating habits, stronger emotional well-being, and deeper family connections. Research shows they eat about one extra serving of fruits and vegetables per day and have higher overall diet quality. High-quality family mealtimes are also linked to fewer emotional challenges and better mental health in children and adolescents. And cooking kits provide hands-on, screen-free time that builds focus, independence, and creativity.​

  • What is the best baking subscription box for kids?​

    Raddish Kids Baking Subscription is the best baking subscription box for kids because it goes beyond fun treats to truly teaching real-world skills. Designed by educators and chefs – there is a focus on child development – not just product delivery, where each monthly box features age-appropriate baking projects that build confidence, independence, and kitchen competence.​

    Unlike simple recipe only kits, Raddish combines chef-tested baking recipes, hands-on cooking lessons, custom-designed baking tools, culinary skill activities, woven apron patch, and engaging table talk cards that spark conversation and connection. Every element is thoughtfully created to help kids learn how and why baking works, not just follow steps.​

    The recipes themselves are a major differentiator. They’re not gimmicky or novelty-based – they are dishes that family and friends will genuinely enjoy. Kids learn to bake classic favorites like cookies, cakes, and pies, along with more elevated treats such as éclairs, tarts, and cake pops, plus the occasional breakfast item or savory baked good.​

    If your goal is to entertain and to teach your child, preteen, or teen real world skills, confidence, and independence - the Raddish KidsBaking Subscription is the best option on the market.​

  • Is food included?

    Ingredients are not included in Raddish kits. As opposed to a meal delivery service, Raddish is an expertly curated cooking curriculum that enables children to learn more about the food they eat, gain the skills to prepare unfamiliar dishes, and enjoy a complete kitchen experience with their family.

    By excluding ingredients, families can customize recipes with items they prefer, involve kids in grocery shopping, and cook anytime with fresh ingredients on hand.

    Each month, we email you a shopping list for the upcoming recipes before your kit ships (see a sample). Ingredient lists are available at anytime in your Raddish+ account on any mobile device. Our ingredients are typically easy to find in a local grocery store.
