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 available to 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 detailed lesson plans for teaching traditional recipes and kitchen skills to students from kindergarten through 12th grade. At more than 250 pages, the curriculum pairs with my bestselling book, The Modern Pioneer Cookbook, to guide hands-on learning in the kitchen.
This curriculum is ideal for parents and educators who want to give students practical cooking skills, confidence with real food, and an appreciation for seasonal, from-scratch cooking that supports lifelong health and self-reliance.
