Chef Koochooloo, innovative children’s content development company, launches new app allowing kids and parents to cook to learn and learn to cook!

Brussels (Belgium), Mountain View (CA) ​ | 3 March 2022 - Chef Koochooloo educational startup, supported by the National Science Foundation and by Belgium's largest startup accelerator Start it @KBC, has developed an innovative platform that enables parents and kids to cook and learn together. The new app merges the oldest forms of socialization— food and cooking— with the newest digital technology such as AI, adaptive learning, and gamification. The new Chef Koochooloo suite of applications hosts robust teacher, district, and administrator dashboards for the Big Chefs and new game, activity, avatar, and language options for the Little Chefs. The new application will host many new lessons and recipes in both English and Spanish.

The company has gained national and international attention for their unique approach to educational technologies as it combines academics with hands-on skill development. Chef Koochooloo is the only patented science, technology, and cooking-focused app and curriculum that is also designed for classroom use, linking standards-aligned STEAM material to international culinary activities, and assessing students’ progress. 

"Each lesson walks students through a new easy-to-make international recipe while introducing facts about the country, mathematical information, and explaining the science behind the cooking process. The approach can take place in person but the Chef Koochooloo applications help scale the curriculum up and work with many students and teachers at once", Layla Sabourian, CEO of Chef Koochooloo says.

The approach can take place in person but the Chef Koochooloo applications help scale the curriculum up and work with many students and teachers at once. The application has dashboards for teachers/parents, schools/districts, and students that are geared specifically to the users’ needs with a preloaded repository of hundreds of bilingual lessons and recipes so that learners can find Cook to Learn lessons that fit their interests, palates, and learning standards. Elementary school-aged students can learn how to make Algerian couscous while discovering the laws of physics and try their hand at Italian caprese salads while extracting chlorophyll from basil leaves.

“Chef Koochooloo is a balanced way to teach children healthy eating as it is age-appropriate, culturally sensitive, and nutrition-focused", Dr. Beatrice Juncadella, Child Obesity Pediatric Medical Director at Thomasville Pediatrics says.

The newest suite of applications is available here and you can read more about their work here. Subscriptions start at 5.89€ per student and special rates are advertised on their website here: chefkoochooloo.com.

To support Ukrainian children and adults amidst this war, proceeds from all March purchases of the Chef Koochooloo app will be donated to the World Central Kitchen and the International Rescue Committee.
