ChopChop Family or www.chopchopfamily.org teaches your child the basics of cooking and the art of eating right
‘Cooking is fun for all ages! When you cook, you create memories in the kitchen and learn about math, science, money, health, culture, geography, and more’, reads the home page of ChopChop Family, establishing its clear intent to act as a fun and educative portal.
The website, created with the intent to help children learn to cook, is programmed to enrich the lives of families by inspiring and teaching them to cook and eat real food together, while having fun and learning essential skills for a full life. Its mission statement reads thus: ‘ChopChop Family is dedicated to providing tools for building essential life skills through the lens of food and cooking. ChopChop Family includes a diverse and inclusive collection of products for children, parents, and older adults… We believe that cooking and eating together is fundamental to every family’s health and happiness, and that if children learn healthy eating habits when they are young, they will maintain healthy lifestyles into their teenage and adult years. Cooking not only promotes better health, it also builds relationships, saves money, and teaches math, science, and cultural and financial literacy, along with other critical life skills.’
The idea is to curtail ‘kitchen illiteracy’ by empowering families and communities with innovative and fun solutions, and towards this end ChopChop Family has recipes, cooking class and cooking clubs that engage with users on an interactive platform.
