Joviette does all cutting and stove work.
Children measure, mix, stir, and taste.

How a session works
- Talk about the food: where it grows, its colors, smells, and tastes
- Measure and mix: kids do the measuring, stirring, and mixing
- Play while it cooks: games, books, and math with timers
- Taste, plate, clean up: and dinner is ready for the family
