In the Kitchen with Jack: The next generation of cooks...

All things fall (apples, pumpkins, pecans!) + fun for the little ones [America’s Test Kitchen]( [Cook’s Illustrated]( [Cook’s Country]( [Kids]( [Cooking School]( [In the Kitchen with Jack. The Latest from America's Test Kitchen.] Dear Home Cook, When our girls were young, my wife and I were on our own when it came to teaching them to cook. There weren’t many tools to help parents and kids. That sure has changed. At ATK, we have a dozen books, a YouTube channel, a podcast, a website, and now two subscription boxes designed for children of all ages. [The Complete Cookbook for Young Scientists]( Our newest (and my favorite) book for kids was published just last week. [The Complete Cookbook for Young Scientists]( is smart, fun, and utterly charming. Written for kids ages 8 to 12 but enchanting and enlightening for all ages, it will teach young minds to think about the world differently. Why exactly do onions make us cry? And what the heck is gluten? To learn the answers to these questions, kids can make easy, kid-tested recipes (such as skillet pizza and chocolate popcorn) and perform simple experiments (sign me up for any science that involves grilled cheese). [The Young Chefs' Club]( If you know a child who loves to receive mail (I think all kids do), our [Young Chefs’ Club]( is the perfect holiday gift. Designed for kids ages 6 to 12, each monthly subscription box has recipes, experiments, games, activities, and often special ingredients or tools. Each box is themed, so kids can really explore the wonderful world of cookies or take a deep dive into learning how we use all five senses when we cook. It will spark immediate fun and learning upon its arrival to your young chefs’ doorstep each month; plus, the reusable activities and family-friendly recipes are perfect to keep and enjoy time and again. If you’ve been considering joining, make the move now and you’ll get a free copy of [Food Fun: An Activity Book for Young Chefs]( (double the cooking fun!). This month we launched the new [Preschool Chefs’ Club]( for children ages 3 to 5. The emphasis here is on spending time with little ones, so each box contains recipe cards with big photos and plenty of age-appropriate action (such as hand-squished tomato sauce), fun experiments and art activities, games, stickers, magnets, and an illustrated storybook (about food, of course). A grown-ups guide provides additional resources for parents and caregivers as well as tips from education and child development specialists. Let me share a special offer with you. [Join the Preschool Chefs’ Club in October]( and get our best seller, Peyton Picks the Perfect Pie, free with your subscription.* [The Preschool Chefs' Club. NEW for kids 3 to 5!]( [Mashed Potato Casserole]( Just because you’re no longer a kid doesn’t mean the learning has to stop. Our websites inspire and instruct cooks at every level. If you’re not a Digital All-Access member, [check out our free trial today](. With the holidays around the corner, my hunch is that you will be cooking a lot in the coming months. Hint: Put this [Mashed Potato Casserole]( on your list, and it’s not the holidays without [Perfect Pecan Pie]( (my family’s favorite). There’s nothing like a great how-to video to demonstrate new-to-you recipes. Why guess what to do next when you can follow along and see exactly how to succeed? We’ve corralled hundreds of videos—from [quick tips]( to [full episodes of our TV shows]( —into one easy-to-browse area of our site, Play. This is the resource you’re looking for, and this is the time to tap it. We continue to add new recipes from our cookbooks to the ATK website (2,000+ recipes from 25+ titles, with more being added every month). If you want to browse all our cookbook recipes at a glance, [bookmark our new Cookbook Collection page](. I’m really proud of this initiative to add value for All-Access members who support our work (we still don’t accept outside advertising!). [Screenshot of the new online cookbook collection page]( Members also get anytime access to every recipe from our TV shows and our iconic magazines, including all those craveable recipes we post on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Whether you want to [master pie dough]( or finally learn the secrets to gravy without lumps or are just looking for inventive weeknight chicken recipes, we have you covered. And our 8,500 product reviews are absolutely essential if you plan to buy kitchen gear as holiday gifts. I’m thinking about getting our kids their first [food processor]( (they have tiny kitchens, so a small size is best) as well as a [small braiser]( because this one pan is so versatile. [The Complete Autumn and Winter Cookbook]( Speaking of holiday gifts, can I recommend two new books? [The Complete Autumn and Winter Cookbook]( is basically the soup to nuts cookbook for the cool days ahead. From delicious baking projects (breads! cakes! cookies!) and showstopping centerpieces to simple, delicious dinners and whole chapters devoted to apples and pumpkins, this collection of 550+ recipes will keep you feeling inspired and eating well until spring. I sent both my daughters a copy, as they’re far from home this year (and I asked for pictures of everything they make from the book). I’m getting [More Mediterranean]( for my kitchen (pre-order from our shop and it will arrive early next month, before it’s in stores). This follow-up to The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook (our best-selling title for each of the past five years) has 225+ brand-new recipes that expand the diet to include healthy ingredients from around the world. From Spiced Chickpea Gyros and Halibut Puttanesca to Pasta with Avocado Pesto and Broccoli, Niçoise Salad with Smoked Salmon, and Quinoa Albóndigas (the tastiest meatballs on the planet that blend Spanish flavors with my favorite grain), the food in this book is fresh and exciting. [More Mediterranean book cover and a sampling of recipes from inside the book: Spiced Chickpea Gyros, Halibut Puttanesca, Pasta with Avocado Pesto and Broccoli, Quinoa Albondigas.]( If the last year and a half has taught us anything, I hope it’s to recognize and savor moments of joy. I’ve spent the last 33 years writing about cooking because it provides me and my loved ones such pleasure. As we begin to think about the holidays, let’s keep that in mind and look for ways to use food to build connection and community.
