    Jun 26 2025
    Parents on the hunt for summer activities for their kids might want to look close to home: the kitchen!

From cracking eggs to choosing recipes, Dr. Choo breaks down age-appropriate ways to invite kids into the kitchen and let them take the lead. Along the way, he explains how cooking together builds confidence, sparks creativity and encourages healthier eating habits.
