A growing series of books that teaches kids real programming languages through real recipes. No coding experience required. No culinary degree either.

Each book is a new kitchen. A new language. A new way to think like a programmer.
Each book in the series pairs a real recipe with a real programming language. The ingredients are the data. The instructions are the logic. The output is dinner.
Kids see code the way they see a recipe — as a set of instructions that produces something real. That recognition builds confidence before it builds expertise. That's the whole idea.
No experience required. No prior knowledge assumed. Just curiosity and an appetite.
Every great series has a face. Someone you come back to. Someone whose desk you recognize. Artie is that kid — glasses, hoodie, laptop open, taco in hand, code on the screen.
He shows up in Book 1. He shows up in Book 5. And he's just getting started. There's a bigger world being built around him — books, tools, and things that don't have names yet.
Book 1 is available now. Multiple ways to get it — more options coming as each book releases.
Books 2 through 5 are in production. Drop your email and be the first to know when each one is ready — plus events, classroom resources, and what Artie's up to next.
