Meet Sowmya

Hi! I’m Sowmya, the founder of Toddlers Love to Cook. It all began with my love for spending time with my then 18-month old son. I wanted to create fun, shared moments in the kitchen: something playful, hands-on, and filled with laughter. As a first time mother, it was overwhelming to find ideas that was fun for us to do together, especially at home, in the kitchen.
So I created Toddlers Love to Cook to help other parents do the same. Whether you join a class or just try a free recipe, know that I’m cheering you on! I wanted to use Montessori and other early education ideas with my professional experience as a Lean Practitioner, which brings you the combination of simplified steps, tips to foster independence while enabling a safer and less stressful environment for you as the parent.

Why Does Cooking with Kids Matters

Cooking with toddlers is more than a cute activity.
It helps them:
Build fine motor and life skills
Make real choices and feel confident
Learn to follow instructions and recipe steps
Establish a more positive relation with toddler meals
Understand where food comes from
Grow curious about new tastes
Strengthen their bond with you
And it helps you slow down, connect, and enjoy the moment, one spoonful at a time.
