Raddish Kids

Raddish Kids is a cooking subscription designed to teach children culinary skills through themed recipe kits. Each monthly box includes illustrated recipe guides, quality kitchen tools, and educational content about food, culture, and nutrition, turning cooking into an engaging learning experience.

Company History

Founded in 2015 by Samantha Barnes, Raddish Kids emerged from the insight that cooking is one of the most practical life skills children can learn, yet most families don’t have structured ways to teach it. Barnes, a mother and former marketing executive, created Raddish to make cooking education fun, accessible, and empowering for kids.

The company has earned multiple educational awards and built a community of families who use cooking as quality time together. Raddish Kids emphasizes not just recipes but the broader lessons cooking teaches: following instructions, measuring, patience, creativity, and cultural appreciation.

What Sets Them Apart

Raddish Kids focuses specifically on cooking education rather than general STEM or crafts. The curriculum is designed by culinary educators to build skills progressively, knife safety, measuring, heat management, while keeping activities age-appropriate and engaging.

The illustrated recipe guides are designed for kids to follow themselves (with appropriate supervision), building independence and confidence. Each box also explores the cultural context of recipes, teaching children about world cuisines and food traditions.
