The Handstand Kids Cookbook Company creates international cookbook kits that introduce children to the culture, language, and cuisine of a new country. Each cookbook kit is uniquely packaged with a cooking accessory: The Handstand Kids Italian Cookbook is packaged in a pizza box with a chef's hat; The Handstand Kids Mexican Cookbook comes in a tortilla bag with a child-sized oven mitt; and The Handstand Kids Chinese Cookbook is packaged in a take-out box with a set of chopsticks.
The five Handstand Kids are featured throughout the series: kid chefs can follow along as Felix, Izzy, Ari, Gabby and Marvin learn about the recipes, culture and language of a new country. The Handstand Kids offer helpful hints about cooking for special diets and finding ways to use cooking skills to support the community. They are a diverse bunch with varied interests so kids can easily relate to the characters. Felix is a vegetarian, Izzy is a picky eater and loves to cook for his diabetic sister, Ari uses her cooking skills to volunteer at kid's charities, Gabby is bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English, and Marvin is an aspiring chef.
In addition to exploring the delicious recipes of a different country, our cookbooks also offer children an introduction to the country's language. All of the ingredients and utensils are translated in to the country's primary language, and these translated words are used in the recipes to help kids learn the language as they cook.
The Handstand Kids Cookbook Company also offers cooking classes and private cooking lessons that bring the series to life. Join us at one of our many workshops, where Handstand Kids chefs introduce kids and their caretakers to yummy recipes using organic ingredients.
The Handstand Kids Cookbook Company aims to use international cooking to create a global community of children and empower kids to take a stand in their own community. Cooking is a fantastic way to promote health and nutrition, explore different cultures, encourage family togetherness and give to others in need. Our books, newsletters and website introduce children to a variety of charitable organizations and show them how they can use their new cooking abilities to help others.
The Handstand Kids motto is "Traveling the world, one recipe at a time." So join us on our adventure around the world by getting your own Handstand Kids Cookbook today!
