About the Recipe Journal

The Recipe Journal

Our recipe journals aren’t just for food. They are for preserving family traditions and
building confidence in the kitchen. From flour dusted hands to the perfect round roti,
this journal is a testament of their culinary journey.


This journal functions as s multidisciplinary hub to break the ‘silo’ of traditional
learning, where mathematics is not just a worksheet and history/geography is not
just a textbook and the Kitchen becomes a lab where these subjects collide and
interact.

How the journal bridges different disciplines

  • Mathematics – Fractions, Units and Conversions, Cooking time
  • Science – Exploring cooking techniques and how they impact, flavours,
    texture and fragrance.
  • Geography and History – No ingredient is just an ingredient, it’s a lesson on
    climate and cultural traditions
  • Language – Building a vocabulary and expression including the fun in idioms
    and puns.
  • Critical thinking through, crosswords and word searches and other activities
  • Improving writing skills and developing logical sequencing through step-by step instructions/ directions involved in writing recipes.
  • Art & Design – Encouraging children to draw, sketch and colour, even design their own layouts on blank pages.

What Kids can get out of it:

  1. Physical Skills (Fine Motor Development)- Writing, drawing and using stickers within the journal combined with the actual kitchen tasks like whisking, peeling, pouring – strengthens hand eye co-ordination, and fine motor control.
  2. Emotional Intelligence: When a child successfully creates a dish with minimal help, their self esteem skyrockets. They transition from being a passive consumer to an active creator. The two illustrated recipes in the journal are designed for children to
    experience the “small wins” in the kitchen.
  3. Cultural Anchoring: By segments like Food for festivals or plates of Bharat and Celebrating Maharashtra, children develop a sense of identity and connecting deeply with their roots and diverse traditions.
  4. Family bonding: The Journal  intends to turn the kitchen from a place of chore into a place of connection. The use of the journal hopes that parents and children will give each other the rarest gift of the modern age- uninterrupted attention. 
  5. Life Skills:  This journal aims to stitch together four essential cognitive pillars - observation, reflection, patience and focus.
