“Nurturing kids’ creativity, life skills, and confidence through cooking.”

Discover seasonal cooking activity books that bring kids and parents closer — in the kitchen and beyond.

A Four-Season Series

Discover the joy of cooking, creating, and connecting — together as a family!

This four-book seasonal series, available in English and Ukrainian, is more than cookbooks. Each volume blends easy recipes, poems, riddles, and playful activities that inspire kids and parents to cook side by side. With every page, children grow in creativity, confidence, and life skills — while families build lasting memories in the kitchen and beyond.

These books invite families not only to bake pastries, but also to “cook” a mindful and joyful life. And through each shared moment, they gently remind us of our deeper connection — with one another, with nature, and with the One who created it all.

Meet Natalia

Hi, I’m Nataliia Prokopchik — an early childhood educator and author. For me, cooking with children is more than preparing treats. It’s a powerful teaching tool that helps kids develop creativity, confidence, and essential life skills.

In the kitchen, a special atmosphere is born — one where every child feels supported and free to try. With each step, they grow more confident, building an inner voice that says: “I can. I know how. And I can learn even more.”

Cooking side by side also creates closeness: the kind of warm moments that connect hearts and stay in memory for life.

My four-season series of cooking activity books blends simple recipes, poems, and creative tasks to inspire kids and parents to cook, learn, and grow together. Each page invites families to slow down, create, and savor everyday joy in the kitchen and beyond.

What Parents and Educators Say About the Book

This book is an absolute gem. My 9-year-old daughter is completely thrilled and wants to try every single recipe right away. She comes home from school, sits down, and gets completely absorbed in the beautiful pictures and lovely stories. I love this book!

A very beautiful and colorful book. We’ve already made one of the recipes with the kids — they loved it. Now I want to buy the next books in the series, and I’ve already ordered some for my friends. Highly recommend — it’s fun, engaging, and educational!
