Our Story

This Subscription Plan Might Be New — But It’s Been Kid-Tested for Over 20 Years​

At Tasty Tales, every recipe, story, and hands-on activity has been tried, tweaked, and totally approved by hundreds of real kids. We’ve spent decades in classrooms, kitchens, and around family tables to make sure what’s inside your monthly package is packed with fun, flavor, and learning that really sticks. It’s this real-kid testing that sets us apart—because if it’s not kid-approved, it doesn’t make the cut.

As a mom and former elementary teacher, I saw how fast childhood moves—and how easily connection can slip away. Screens replaced stories, tests replaced play, and families found themselves in the same room, but worlds apart. I wanted more—for my students, for my kids, for all of us. So I left the classroom and created Tasty Tales, a hands-on experience that brings families together through cooking, stories, and creativity.

We believe in:

~ Laughter in the kitchen and cookbooks full of memories

~ Stories shared between siblings, parents, and grandparents

~ Flour-covered counters, sticky fingers, and full hearts

It started over 20 years ago as a cozy after-school program where kids read picture books, cooked recipes inspired by the stories, and created keepsakes they could truly call their own. Now, it’s a movement to Connect, Cook, Create, and Collect—a slower, sweeter way to savor what matters most.

So pull your kids in close. Let them mix the batter, stir the stories, and make the mess. We’ll help you start with a FREE Tasty Tales Recipe Binder—a place to collect your family’s flavors, memories, and magic. Because the kitchen isn’t just for cooking.
It’s where the best stories begin.

Hugs,

Tasty Tales is such a gift to our family. It introduces the kids to new textures, mixes, flavors... she would never try these foods unless she had a hand in making them.
