Cooking Together

Turn family dinner into a hands-on kitchen adventure with this bright, bold kids’ cookbook filled with 75 real recipes from kid chef Slate and his family therapist mom, Eli Harwood—perfect for ages 8+!

Cooking Together is a family cookbook for parents and kids ages 8 and up, packed with silly projects, real-deal dinners, and conversation-sparking extras. Created by bestselling author Eli Harwood (aka Attachment Nerd), with recipes developed and taste-tested by Slate, every page builds kitchen skills, confidence, and connection.

Inside you’ll find:

• FOOD EVERYONE WANTS TO EAT: Together, you’ll make Gummy Sushi, Fruit Pizza, and Mini S’mores Casserole, plus grown-up-worthy dinners like Thai Pumpkin Curry, Poke Bowls, and Moroccan Chicken Stew.
• BUILD REAL COOKING SKILLS: Go beyond assembly-only kids’ cookbooks. Explore breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner, and dessert where recipes go from easiest to most challenging and young chefs build independence one recipe at a time.
• FUN BUILT IN: Kitchen Connections, Fascinating Food Facts, and Chef’s Challenges keep the laughs and learning going.
• KID-TO-KID ADVICE: “Slate Says” tips give young chefs his honest, unfiltered take on what works in the kitchen.
• THERAPIST-APPROVED CONNECTION: Turn screen-free cooking time into real conversation. Includes notes for parents of neurodivergent and food-hesitant kids.

This joyful, hands-on cookbook makes a memorable Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthday, or holiday gift for budding chefs, food-loving parents, and anyone who believes the best conversations happen over a mixing bowl.

With this kid-tested family cookbook, everyone gets a job, nobody gets bored, and dinner is officially a team sport.
