The Montessori Baker

If you want to teach children to be independent in the kitchen, then you'll want to join The Montessori Baker on her adventures.

Christie Alexandra Duryea, who was a professional pastry chef for more than eleven years before becoming a Montessori teacher, highlights how getting comfortable in the kitchen can help children of all ages learn more about life-all while learning important skills and having fun!

She answers questions such as:

- How can you teach children to be safe in the kitchen?

- What steps do you need to take to prepare the kitchen environment?

- How can you include your child in the kitchen on a regular basis?

Other topics include how to involve children in setting the table, encouraging healthy eating habits, and why it's so important to regularly share meals together.

There's also a bonus section with recipes, such as A Lot of Stuff Granola, Maple Bacon Corn Bread, Cinnamon-Scented Almond and Banana Chips, and other tasty treats.

These one-of-a-kind recipes were handcrafted through the author's time as a pastry chef and being a Montessori teacher. The recipes are child approved, healthy, culturally inclusive, and easy to make.
