Tonight I had grand plans to make Chicken Tikka Masala in the Insta-pot, accompanied by baked feta cheese with baby broccoli, tomatoes, and lemon. However, given that it was a school night, and the Tikka Masala recipe looked like it actually was going to take a long time, I decided to try Trader Joe’s Tikka Masala “simmer’ sauce and focus on the sheet-pan baked feta. This recipe is based on a recipe that was recently published in The New York Times (Yasmin Fahr). The photo of it looked so delicious, I had to try it. There is a bit of prep work but it’s otherwise pretty easy.
Baked Feta
Ingredients for the Baked Feta + Veggies are as follows:
The first step is to preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prep the vegetables. The original recipe called for halving the grape tomatoes, but that’s not necessary. They cook just fine if they are whole.
Then on a sheet pan, spread the baby broccoli, tomatoes, onion, and lemons and toss with the olive oil, cumin, (red pepper flakes if using), and salt and pepper. Put the feta slices in with the vegetables.
Cook in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring about halfway through, and then cook another 10 minutes until the broccoli is lightly charred and the tomatoes are starting to burst.
Top with the basil if using.
This can be served with orzo, farro, or rice: I chose rice.
Chicken Tikka Masala
Ingredients for the Tikka Masala are 2-3 pounds of chicken cut up into bite-size pieces and two jars of Tikka Masala sauce (obviously you can half the recipe if you don’t want leftovers, but we always want leftovers.)
This is pretty easy: really the only thing I had to do was cut up the chicken into bite-size pieces.
Then I combined the Tikka Masala simmer sauce with 2 cups of water, added the cut-up chicken, and simmered for 30 minutes.
I served the chicken with rice along with the roasted feta and vegetables.
Welcome to kidscookdinner.com, a website my brother Max and I started five years ago to share our thoughts about food and cooking and helping hungry people. It’s also a digital cookbook for our family to make sure we remember the meals we love (as well as the ones that didn’t work out so well…)

Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I decided to make Valentine’s Day cookies as my valentine to my family. I used a traditional sugar cookie recipe (this one is based on Nigella Lawson’s recipe from her cookbook, Feast) and then go crazy with the frosting.
Ingredients are as follows:
The first step is to make sure the butter is soft so it’s easy to cream. If you want to take a shortcut you can microwave it, but for no more than 15 seconds. It needs to be soft, not melted.
Then you cream the sugar into the butter and beat it till it is well blended and pale yellow.
Beat the egg and the vanilla, and add to the butter mix.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir with a whisk
Add the dry ingredients to the butter-egg mixture and stir well. The dough will be pretty stiff and crumbly.
Form into two balls and flatten into discs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour (the dough needs to rest.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and then roll out the first ball of dough and cut your cookies out and place on greased tray (or one with a silpat). I mainly cut out hearts but I threw in a few frogs in the valentine spirit of frogs being kissed and turning into princes. Put the cut-out cookies in the fridge while you roll out the second disk of dough and cut shapes from that disk.
Bake until just light gold around the edges and let cool completely. Watch carefully so you don’t burn them!
(Now the fun part). After the cookies are cooled, get your frosting and decorations ready. I used 2 cans of store-bought white vanilla frosting, mixing red gel color into one. We also had assorted sprinkles and M&Ms to decorate.
Max even helped frost, but I think that was mainly so he could eat the ones he over-frosted.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Welcome to kidscookdinner.com, a website that I (Max) started with my sister Alex five years ago to talk about food, encourage kids to cook, and raise awareness of world hunger.

Tonight we are celebrating Super Bowl Sunday. We usually have a bunch of people over but obviously that’s not going to happen today thanks to COVID. Nonetheless, we are making some excellent food and face-timing with some of the people with whom we usually celebrate. I’m in charge of nachos, Alex is making brownies and mom will probably make something healthy (salad) that no one will eat.
I decided to make chicken nachos, and after looking at a few recipes online, decided to make the chicken in our Instapot. If you don’t have an Instapot, you can make it in a slow cooker (but adjust the time), or you can buy an already cooked rotisserie chicken and use that.
For the chicken you will need:
The first step is to squeeze the limes and add the juice to the Instapot.
Then salt and pepper the chicken all over and add to the pot.
Finally, pour the 2 cups of salsa into the pot, stir, and cook for 7 minutes at high pressure. Standing back from the Instapot, quick release the pressure and check to see if the chicken is done by slicing into it. If it is still pink, return to Instapot and cook for another 2 minutes on high pressure. (I needed to cook mine for 2 more minutes)
Once the chicken is fully cooked, shred it using two forks and return to the pot so it picks up the salsa flavor and stays moist.
If you are using a rotisserie chicken, shred the chicken and mix with 1 to 1-1/2 cups salsa. You won’t need the limes. I made the chicken in the morning and then waited till right before the game to put the nachos together:
To actually make the nachos, you will need:
The first step here is to preheat your oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
Then prep the ingredients: drain and rinse the beans, grate the cheese if not already shredded, half the tomatoes and thinly slice the scallions and jalapeno.
Build the nachos, arranging about half of the 16-ounce bag of chips on the baking sheet in an even layer. Top with half of the salsa chicken and a handful of the cheese. Put the remaining chips on top, followed by the rest of the chicken and cheese. Sprinkle with black beans.
Bake the nachos in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the chips on the edge are starting to brown (about 8 minutes). Just before serving garnish as you like…with additional beans, tomatoes, jalapeno, scallions and serve with sour cream and avocados or guacamole.
Here’s the before and after photos:
Enjoy!
Hi, this is Alex. I was in charge of brownies. This recipe is amazing and very simple. It’s originally from my grandmother Jean, who passed it to my mom, who tweaked it a bit and has passed it along to my brother and me.
Here are the ingredients you need:
*if you want very fudgy brownies, only use 1/3 cup flour. If you want brownies with a little more structure, use 1/2 cup flour.
The first step is to preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease an 8 x 8 square pan. Then melt the butter and the bittersweet chocolate on very low heat, watching all the time (put the butter in the pan under the chocolate). You do not want this to burn. Let cool till warm but not hot.
Beat the eggs together and then whisk in the sugar. Once the chocolate-butter mix is cool enough, add to the eggs (if it is not cool enough, it will scramble the eggs, which is not what you want)
Then mix in the vanilla and flour and pour into the greased pan.
Into the oven for 20 minutes.
Then once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips. (Or, if like in our family, people have strong and divergent feelings about whether brownies should be frosted, only put chocolate chips on half the pan of brownies.)
The heat from the warm brownies will melt the chocolate chips and you can spread easily, making a wonderful chocolate frosting for the brownies.
Voila! Note, it’s usually a good idea to keep these covered in the fridge…otherwise, they are very very sticky.
Welcome to kidscookdinner.com: a website/blog dedicated to kids cooking (usually dinner, but not always) and also to draw attention to the fact that a lot of people don’t have enough to eat. And thanks for all of you who watched us compete on Chopped Junior on Food Network which first aired in 2017, and then still occasionally reruns. We were thrilled to compete to raise awareness (and hopefully money) for Action Against Hunger, an international hunger relief charity that we have supported since we first won a prize for our website domain name: kidscookdinner.com. If you want to find out more about Action Against Hunger or donate to this charity, please click HERE. But if you just want to see what we cooked this week or other weeks, just scroll up or down!
2020 Update: as our city, state, nation, world struggle to deal with COVID-19, hunger is not going away, in fact it’s getting worse. As we see it affect our fellow New Yorkers, we have also been donating to local hunger relief organizations, such as City Harvest. Please consider giving locally if you can (HERE is City Harvest’s link.) Stay safe and well!
Dinner in 2015
Dinner in 2020
As you may know, we (Max and Alex…the kids) started cooking dinner for our family once a week back in 2015. We realized how fun it was to cook and we wanted to share our experiences (and encourage kids to cook), so we started this website. We also randomly entered the website in a national domain name contest. Amazingly enough, we won the contest and $35,000! Click here for more about the story of our domain name.
But because we have plenty to eat, and millions of people around the world don’t, we donated half of our prize ($17,000) to Action Against Hunger–a charity dedicated to saving the lives of malnourished children and helping vulnerable communities become self-sufficient. We were lucky enough to get to visit the Action Against Hunger office in New York and meet some of their amazing staff. (Below we are sitting with Alex Cottin, Director of External Affairs, and Andrea Tamburini, CEO of AAH-USA, in August 2015)
We hope you enjoyed watching us compete on Chopped Junior and we hope you are inspired to cook more. Let’s all try to take the time to enjoy what we cook together. And, at least for our family, let’s be thankful for what we have and try to help those in need.
Welcome to kidscookdinner.com. I (Max) started this site with my sister Alex five years ago to talk about our cooking efforts and to raise awareness of world hunger. We won $35,000 in a website contest and donated over half to Action Against Hunger, a hunger-relief charity. (Our parents told us we had to save the rest of the money for college.) To learn more about the history of the site, and the charities we support, scroll down a few posts. To see what we’re cooking today, just keep reading.
Today was another cold January day and dad had bought 3 pounds of chuck roast, which is pretty inexpensive and has a lot of connective tissue in it. It needs to cook a long time to dissolve that tissue so it’s traditionally used for pot roast (beef cooked with carrots and potatoes). I didn’t want to do a traditional pot roast so I found a couple of recipes for Korean Pot Roast/Slow Cooked Korean Beef to try. This recipe uses a slow cooker for this but you could probably also cook it in a large saucepan over low heat (or in the oven in a Dutch oven). Note this recipe is inspired by Chungah’s recipe for slow cooker Korean been found here.
Ingredients were as follows:
The first step was to prep everything: cut the beef, mince the garlic, grate the ginger and measure everything. The meat was tough to cut up: will definitely need to cook for a while in the slow cooker.
The next step was to whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar onion powder, and pepper.
Then put the cut-up chuck roast in the slow cooker and pour the beef broth-soy sauce mixture over the top and give a good stir.
Cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, stirring from time to time. When the time is up, and meat is very tender, turn off the cooker and let it cool. (The meat will have reduced in size dramatically)
Refrigerate overnight, if possible, so fat hardens (there will be a lot of it). This is what it looked like in the morning. All the white stuff is fat.
Remove the fat (it’s about 1/4 inch thick and solid, so easy to do with a big spoon) and reheat.
I served it over rice, sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Delicious!

Today was a typical January day: cold and very windy. The whole family wanted something warm and hearty. I looked online and found a recipe for Beef Bourguignon with noodles that looked good (it had bacon in it so how could it be bad?). I went to Trader Joe’s and found all the ingredients except pearl onions. I wish we could have found them but I substituted a cup of chopped onions instead. This recipe, sort of based on one found at myrecipes.com (found here) calls for a fair bit of prep but there is nothing difficult about it.
Here are the ingredients (except for the bacon, which I unbelievably forgot to put in the photo):
And here’s the exact amounts you need:
The first step is to prep all the ingredients. That means chopping the onions and carrots, mincing the garlic, washing and quartering the mushrooms, and cutting up the beef chunks if too big. My parents got me an onion chopper for Christmas which was supposed to make chopping onions easier. (Chopping onions is my least favorite part of cooking.) Y0u are just supposed to have to cut the onion in half and then push the cutter down on top of it. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. It took all my strength to push the chopper down on the half onion and then I still had to pull out each piece of the onion from the chopper. It was more work than just using a knife!
Even when I tried chopping just a SLICE of onion (versus the half onion), I had to pull the chopped onion through the other side. Definitely do not buy this gadget.
OK, enough about onions. Chef’s tip, when chopping up mushrooms, remember they cook down a lot but if they are large (more than 1-1/2 inch diameter), cut into quarters not halves for this dish. The idea is that this is a stew that you should be able to eat with a spoon, no knife needed. Similarly, cut up the chunks of beef to be bite-size.
After everything is chopped, combine the flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl. Add the stew meat and toss until the meat is coated lightly with the flour mix.
Then cook the bacon in a large saucepan on medium heat. When it’s crisp, remove it from the pan but leave the bacon drippings in the pan.
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bacon drippings and then add the beef stew meat. Brown on all sides. (You may need to do this in batches, don’t overcrowd the pan).
Put the browned beef into the slow cooker, add the second tablespoon of olive oil to the saucepan, and then add the chopped onions, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Saute for 5 minutes.
Then stir in red wine and 1/2 of the broth. Scrape the pan to loosen all the browned bits stuck to the pan. And the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, chopped thyme, and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Pour over the beef chunks in the slow cooker.
Add the remaining beef broth to the saucepan to get all the browned bits out of the pan. Chop up the bacon a bit more (again, think bite-size bits). Then add the mushrooms, pearl onions (if you have them, if not the roughly chopped cup of onions), and chopped bacon to the slow cooker. Then pour the remaining beef broth (with the last browned bits from the saucepan) over the mix in the slow cooker.
Here’s the “before the broth” picture:
Cook on high for 3 hours (or low for 6): here’s what it looked like the half-way through. (I gave it a good stir here to make sure the meat and mushrooms on top got cooked)
After 3 hours (high) or 6 hours (low), turn off the heat and let it sit. If you have time refrigerate overnight: the flavor will be better and it’s easier to remove extra fat. We were too hungry to wait 24 hours, but I did let it cool in the fridge for two hours, then removed the extra fat.
For dinner, I prepared wide egg noodles and served the Beef Bourgignon on top.
(While the water was boiling for the noodles, I roasted some leftover kale and baby zucchini for snacks. We were all getting hungry!)
It was delicious (and frankly, even better for lunch the next day)

Tonight I wanted to cook something healthy…it’s the New Year and with COVID surging, I thought that our family should focus on “good” food. Since Covid, The New York Times has had a weekly section called At Home that suggests a variety of coping mechanisms, lock-down survival recommendations, and delicious recipes. One of those was for Sheet-Pan Salmon Broccoli with Sesame and Ginger, and I decided to try it out, along with some brown rice. Here’s my final plate.
There are a lot of ingredients but everything cooks on one sheet so it was a surprisingly simple recipe.
Here’s what you need to have on hand:
The first step was to pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees (the NYT recipe says 425 degrees but I am always worried about overcooking fish so I lowered the pre-heat temperature to 400 degrees). Meanwhile, while the oven is heating, I rinsed 2 cups of brown rice and started the rice in our rice cooker. I’m not sure why but whenever we rinse rice until the water runs clear, it is much fluffier. But if you don’t have time…just cook it.
I also peeled and chopped the ginger and garlic.
Once everything was prepped for the salmon glaze, I whisked 3 tablespoons of the sesame oil with the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic ingredients until smooth, and set aside.
Then I chopped the scallions into 1-1/2 inch segments and tossed with the broccoli and the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil, along with the olive oil and salt and pepper, and put in the oven to roast for 10 minutes. (NYT says 5 minutes, but that’s not enough time, the broccoli just won’t be cooked enough.) Once the broccoli and scallions were in the oven, I chopped the remaining scallion into small slices for garnish.
After 10 minutes, it was time to add the salmon to the sheet pan. Salt and pepper the fillets, brush with glaze, and then position them in the center of the sheet pan.
Here’s the beauty shot of the sheet pan going into the oven:
And here’s the shot of the pan coming out of the oven:
(And here’s our dog Koko chasing her tail because she thinks she might get some salmon leftovers…she loves salmon.)
Ultimately, we plated the dinner and it was both delicious and healthy (and we did give Koko some salmon). Here’s to a happier and healthier 2021!
Happy New Year and welcome to kidscookdinner.com, a website my brother Max and I (Alex) started 5 years ago to post about food, kids’ cooking, and the serious issue of hunger in the world. Unfortunately, the need for hunger relief has only gotten worse since then, so if you have time, check out Action Against Hunger’s website here. To see what we cooked today, read on. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, Max is pretty busy with his college applications so I have been doing most of the holiday baking.
One of our annual traditions is a holiday train cake. The end result is cute and delicious but this does take all day to make. Here’s a teaser photo of the end result.
Here are the ingredients: the most interesting one is sour cream. I was very skeptical about including it, but it made the cake very light and fluffy.
Recipe:
The other key element is a train cake mold. Mom got our mold from Williams & Sonoma maybe 8 years ago: it’s really cute with 9 cars, including an engine, coal car, and caboose. When we were younger, we pretended it was the Polar Express. The recipe is from W&S as well.
The first step is to preheat the oven and grease and flour the cake pan (this is tricky because there is so much detail, but super important, otherwise you will lose those details when you flip the cake out. The second step is to sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and, in a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, sour cream, 4 eggs, and vanilla.
Then with an electric beater (using flat beater if you have it), gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat on low till the dry stuff is just moistened.
Scrape down the bowl and increase speed to medium for 30 seconds. Make sure everything is combined but don’t overbeat.
Then per the W&S recipe you are supposed to divide the batter in half and set half of it aside. (Then after you’ve cooked the first half of the batter, and the mold has cooled and been cleaned and greased and floured, you cook the second half of the batter. From prior experience, we know that 9 cars are a lot of train cars to decorate so we decided to make cupcakes instead of 9 more cake cars.) Anyway, once the batter is complete, you spread it evenly in each car mold and bake 18-22 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean).
Do not, do not fill the molds all the way up as we did. The recipe says to spread the batter so it reaches the top edges of each mold with the batter a little lower in the center of the mold….that is what we tried to do (see photo below) but this is still too much batter. We found out the hard way.
As you can see, this resulted in overflowing cake cars.
Fortunately, I was able to slice off the extra cake with a large bread knife (which left us with good snacks while we waited for the cake to cool). You should let the cake cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack and then invert and let cool for at least an hour before frosting.
When I finally flipped the pan, I was delighted.
Once the cakes were cooled, I mixed up red, green, and white frosting and got out holiday sprinkles and M&Ms. The M&M are ideal for the train wheels.
Then it was frosting time.
And here’s the final, full train cake — it tasted great.
PS: the cupcakes turned out nicely as well and were a little easier to decorate. 🙂

Welcome to kidscookdinner.com, a website that I (Max) started with my sister (Alex) in 2015 to talk about our cooking experiments and encourage kids to cook more. We are fortunate enough to have plenty to eat in our family, so we also founded it to draw attention to the issue of hunger. Especially as this challenging year draws to an end, if you are able, consider donating to a hunger or poverty relief charity. Two of our favorites are Action Against Hunger and City Harvest.

Tonight I decided to try to cook Lamb Riblets. I had never heard of them, but my family bought a whole lamb from Herondale Farm (an organic farm in the Hudson Valley). We love lamb but it’s not always available in the grocery store, and when it is, it’s often very expensive, so we thought it made sense to buy one. We also wanted to support small farmers like Herondale’s. However, when you buy a whole lamb, you get everything, including heart, liver, and riblets. Fortunately, it comes butchered, frozen, and in vacuum packs.
Riblets look sort of like beef short ribs and when I looked up recipes, I found a simple recipe for garlic roasted ribs. It looked delicious and the ingredients were straight forward:
Here’s the recipe:
After preheating the oven to 375 degrees, the next step was to chop the 4 cloves of garlic.
Then I combined the paprika, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and garlic and rubbed the mix all over the lamb. I added a bit more olive oil because there wasn’t quite enough of the mix.
This is what they looked like before I put them in the oven:
After 45 minutes, I took the riblets out:
Dad had bought Indian food from Ozone Park in Queens, where his office is, and we combined that with the riblets. The nan, rice, and chicken masala were a good complement.
To be honest, the riblets were good but the Indian food was better. The lamb meat was delicious but there was a lot of fat and sinew around it. Next time I cook them, I think I will braise them–cooking them for a long time in a slow cooker– to dissolve all that, and then remove the fat. Live and learn (and happy new year!)
Merry Christmas and welcome to kidscookdinner.com, a website my brother Max and I (Alex) started in 2015 to share our love of cooking and encourage more kids to cook. To learn more about the website, scroll down a few posts.
To see what we cooked today, stay right here.
Today, I (Alex) am doing the cooking or at least the baking. Max is busy finishing his college applications and mom is cooking most of the other parts of Christmas dinner, so I took on the fun job of making dessert. Yuletide Log, or Buche Noel, is our traditional Christmas dessert, and Max’s favorite, so I decided to make it. The batter is a traditional light sponge cake but the frosting is unusual and delicious (we use a raw egg yolk!). The first step is to make a sponge cake.
Here are the ingredients for the cake:
After you butter and flour a 15 inch shallow pan, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees, you need to separate the eggs and mix 1/2 cup flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder.
Next step is beat the 4 egg yolks with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a mixer on high speed for 5 minutes until they are a thick, lemon-colored consistency. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and beat till dissolved.
After thoroughly cleaning the beaters, you then beat the 4 egg whites till soft peaks form. Then add 1/3 cup sugar and beat till stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg yolk mix into the egg white mix (I first mixed 1/2 cup of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolks to lighten them, and then folded the yolk mix into the whites mix). Once that’s combined, sprinkle the flour mix on top of the batter and again, gently fold in until just combined.
Spread the batter over your buttered pan and bake for 15 minutes until just light brown and the cake springs back when you touch it.
Loosen from tray immediately and place on a clean dishtowel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Gently roll up in the towel, and let cool in that position.
When the cake is cooled unroll from the towel, and prepare to frost!
I think the frosting is the most unique thing about this cake: it’s certainly the tastiest. Ingredients are:
Melt the chocolate and once cooled, cream in the softened butter. Then add the vanilla and, if you choose (and the frosting is not too liquid), add the cognac or rum. Finally, mix in the raw egg yolk. I didn’t add the cognac because the frosting seemed liquid enough and I didn’t want to thin it out too much. If you are worried about the raw egg yolk, you can leave it out; the frosting just won’t be as rich or glossy, but it will still taste good.
Then you spread 1/3 of the frosting on the cake and roll it up.
Then you frost the outside (and the ends).
The final step is to take the back of a fork and run lines down the frosting (to make it look like bark). Then into the fridge the roll goes so the frosting can harden.
Just before serving, I like to decorate it with holiday figures. Although the plastic deer on top is out of proportion, it’s an important holiday feature (we have so many deer around our house that we like to include them (symbolically) in our Christmas celebration.)
(Here’s our friendly fawn, about 4 feet away from our house this morning, considering whether or not to eat our holly bush…seriously, that can’t taste good!)
Finally, in case you’re wondering, here’s the rest of the holiday feast prepared by mom: roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roasted Brussel sprouts and English peas. Merry, Merry Christmas!
