Learning how to cook is such an important life skill to pass down to our children and grandchildren. I have been noticing that subscription cooking boxes for kids are increasing in popularity. Chef Free Club is unique in that it is an inclusive cooking club specifically designed for kids with special dietary needs.
The founder of Chef Free Club came up with the idea after her son was diagnosed with multiple severe food allergies. Chef Free Club fills an important niche, as it seems like food allergies have become so prevalent in kids these days, including my own.
As a Nourished Festival blogger, I received a sample Hola Mexico kit. This kit includes three recipes that are plant-based, gluten-free, food allergy-friendly and top allergen-free:
- Street Corn
- Pozole
- Churro Chips
We did not have a chance to try the Street Corn recipe yet, as I forgot to buy corn on the cob. However, we are looking forward to trying the suggested method of grilling corn on the stovetop.
My son and I did however, make the Pozole and Churro Chips.
I do not think we have ever made Pozole before, so it was fun to try out a new recipe. My son was curious about hominy, as it is not an ingredient we typically use.
This plant-based Pozole is hearty and super-filling! In addition to the hominy, it is filled with tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions; this soup is a great way to increase your kids’ vegetable intake. It also makes a ton, so I think we will be eating Pozole for the next few days!
My son had a blast trying out the recipe for Churro Chips. We appreciated the recipe picture booklets that takes you through the recipes step-by-step.
He enjoyed using the special rotary cutter that was included in the kit to cut the tortillas into wedges. Our family is not gluten-free, so we used regular flour tortillas. However, the recipe booklets include specific brand name suggestions for gluten-free and allergen-free products to use in the recipes, which I can see as being very helpful.
My son also enjoyed the process of dipping the tortilla wedges into melted butter and sprinkling on the cinnamon sugar.
After 8 minutes in the oven, they turned out nice and crispy! I like how there was also a recipe suggestion for savory chips by using taco seasoning instead of cinnamon sugar.
Chef Free Club is recommended for children ages 4-14. In addition to the recipe cards and tool of the month, each kit also includes a pamphlet with games and activities related to the kit’s theme. Another fun surprise was the inclusion of allergy-friendly samples. We received two samples of Coconut Cloud Vegan Instant Hot Cocoa Mix (stay tuned for an upcoming review and giveaway with them, as well!) A subscription to Chef Free Club would make your kids look forward to the mail every month.
