Inside every recipe

Not just recipes. Little rituals that stick.

Every recipe has a star (the best-loved ones open each chapter), the lunchbox and night-before badges, and a note on why it works with a little one.

Then the two things that make the difference: the Little Chef job — a real task, sized for three-year-old hands, different in every recipe — and Make it yours, where your child gives the stars, invents the dish’s name and marks the first time.

A dish he helped make, with a name he invented, doesn’t get refused: it gets asked for. You won’t find that in just any list of recipes.

★★★★★

“I was never ‘the one who cooks’. With the Little Chef game it’s my son who drags me to the stove — and what we make together, he actually eats.”

— Andrea, dad of Giulio · age 4
★★★★★

“Five minutes and ingredients I already have at home. In the evening, after work, it’s the only thing I manage to cook — and she loves it to bits.”

— Davide, dad of Sofia · age 3
★★★★★

“Two daughters, two different roles in the same recipe. Finally they don’t fight over who gets to help dad.”

— Stefano, dad of Emma and Bianca · ages 2 and 5 more than one
★★★★★

“I got it to get my husband involved. Since then the surprise is mine: I never thought he’d get this good — and now Leo only wants to cook with dad.”

— Giulia, mum of Leo · age 3 for dad

And for the rough days

When the day goes sideways.

The complete collection includes the evening-savers from the big book:

Picky-eater SOS kit

The page to open on “no” nights: refusal-proof recipes, picked from the most loved.

Clever fridge-raid

Just eggs, a banana and half an avocado? The table tells you what you can make, right now.

Two weeks of lunchboxes

Already planned, plus a “one hour on Sunday” head start.

More than one child?

There’s a place for everyone in the kitchen.

Like a real kitchen brigade: each child gets their own little-chef role — one stirs, one breads, one tastes, one picks the colours. Nobody just watches, and there’s far less squabbling.

Chief Stirrer Official Taster Colour Keeper Master Breader

“Dad, will you make me those?” — the little question this whole thing grew from. Written, cooked and tested at a small kitchen table in Milan, with the most honest food critic there is: a three-year-old.

FAQ

Everything you want to know.

How is the pricing organised?

Four ways, depending on how much you want: a single volume (from €5), the mini bundle with 3 volumes of your choice (€25), all volumes + 2 weeks of web app (€29, the most popular) or everything with a full year of app (€59). With the welcome code you get €5 off the complete package.

Are the PDFs a one-time payment? And the web app?

Yes: all the PDFs are a one-time payment, you download them and they stay yours forever. The web app (Kid Mode, search, shopping list) has a 7-day free trial; the €29 complete package includes 2 weeks, then it’s €3.99/month or €39/year and you cancel whenever you like, right from the app.

Do the recipes work for older or younger children too?

Yes. The reference point is a three-year-old, but the recipes are designed for ages 2–6, with adjustments already suggested in the text. For allergies and children under 2, always follow your paediatrician.

Do I need special ingredients or equipment?

No. Everyday supermarket ingredients and a normal kitchen. If you can turn on a stove, you’re set.

How do I get access after purchase?

Instantly, by email. For mini volumes: the PDF with your name on it. For the complete collection: all the PDFs plus your personal web app credentials.
