Rebellious Living and Ratatouille

We’re chilling out this weekend here in Tirana with some delicious local treats and our favorite movie of all time!!!

Ratatouille in Albania
Chilling out, watching our favorite Little Chef’s antics in the kitchen.

One of the many things I love about this move is Chef Gusteau’s motto: “Anyone can cook!” Our Little Sous and I have been cooking together since he was an infant. Whether with me in our kitchen at home, or in our international Montessori school with dozens of others, I have watched his confidence and creativity grow as we prepared a variety of global cuisines over the years.

We never listened to the naysayers, who said that kids can’t cook. We ignored the critics, who decried our methods as dangerous or irresponsible. We rejected as ridiculous the cynical notion that our time would be better spent on more important academic pursuits. Our rebellious methods of multisensory education, in the Montessori tradition, have led to the culinary adventures our family enjoys today!

Cooking has given him the opportunity to demonstrate his growing skills and independence. It has also encouraged him to push the boundaries of others’ expectations, and to stretch himself in order create the dishes he wants to enjoy.  I have watched with joy as my son continues to grow in self-assurance and determination.

This is the spirit of tenacity we want to nourish in his young life. This is the example we work to live on a daily basis for him to emulate. If this is what you want for your child, then Our Kitchen Classroom’s Sizzling Summer Workshop is for you!!!
