Renee Frojo is the Head of Marketing at Culinary Artistas. She’s also a trained chef, former full-time food blogger and mother of two elementary-school-aged gals.

At Culinary Artistas, creating connections beyond the kitchen is what we’re all about. So, we reached out to Adam Brooks, the King of connecting with kids, for tips on how to get families to communicate better, and why it’s more critical than ever.‍

Some of the best memories we carry from our childhood are those in the kitchen. Cooking with our parents, learning from our grandmother. We connect over food. 

Want to get your kid in the kitchen this summer without turning on the stove? That’s one of our (many) specialties!

We know better than anyone that it can be a challenge to get kids to eat their veggies (or anything, really) — especially in toddlerhood.
