how we're different
25 Years of Experience
For the first time ever, America’s Test Kitchen, a brand trusted for more than 25 years, has turned its food and science expertise to kids.
Kid-Tested
Each and every one of our recipes, activities, and experiments is tested at home (or in our kitchen!) by members of a group of more than 5,000 kids across the country.
Digital Library
Our subscription also gives digital access to our site, unlocking a library of family-friendly recipes, hands-on activities, videos, and other educational resources.
Built for Learning
We break down the fundamentals of science and cooking in family-friendly recipes. Each box contains projects that range from 15 minutes to a few hours, with recipes that can be cooked time and again.
Creative by Design
We encourage kids’ natural creativity though monthly “Make It Your Way!” recipe challenges.
