In today’s vodcast I explain why I created The Modern Pioneer Cookbook Curriculum, a free set of lesson plans designed to teach traditional cooking skills to students in grades K–12.
These conversational vodcasts are part of the content I share with Kitchen Pioneers who join my YouTube membership community, The Traditional Foods Kitchen Academy.

The Modern Pioneer Cookbook Curriculum
The Modern Pioneer Cookbook Curriculum is a free, comprehensive resource with lesson plans that teach traditional recipes and kitchen skills for K–12 students. The curriculum spans more than 250 pages and complements my bestselling book, The Modern Pioneer Cookbook.
It’s ideal for parents and educators who want to help young people develop practical cooking skills, a deeper appreciation for whole ingredients, and confidence in the kitchen.
