Peasful Kitchen was started as a social place for like minded parents to connect, learn, and enjoy making food for their families. We have since grown from a baby food company to a cooking school that covers every stage of a families growth — from freezer meals for expectant moms, to baby and toddler food, to family dinners that bring smiles ( and sanity!) to your table.

Whether you’re a new mom who wants to serve your baby real food from the start, or you’re a veteran parent who wants to put more nutritious meals on the table, we can help you make dinnertime more do-able. Join us, and experience the confidence and pride that comes with taking the step to make your family healthier and happier. To prepare your littles for their next steps, check out our classes now!

Hi, I’m Nicole, a cooking instructor, magazine journalist, and mom of three. When my oldest son was born, I paused my writing career to start Peasful Kitchen, a NYC-area cooking school that teaches parents how to make healthy and homemade baby and toddler foods. What started as a cooking school eventually took new form—it became a sisterhood of women from different backgrounds, nationalities, and parenting styles who were navigating this crazy journey and bonding in the process, because there’s nothing that brings women together more than food and fodder over poop explosions. Join us here for recipes to start your little one on solids, tips on how to deal when your toddler chucks his spaghetti across the kitchen, and stories that help us all feel a bit saner. Welcome to this crazy, chaotic club.
