La Cocinita de Chamberí: everything about and for children's nutrition

Today I want to show you a store, a very special store, completely dedicated to healthy eating for children. Is called Chamberí's Kitchen and it contains everything we need to feed our children healthy and naturally. In addition, it exemplifies very well how moms can become entrepreneurs, earning time for their children and also collaborating in the dissemination of conscious parenting and child health.

In a unique and very welcoming space, where children are welcome, it offers organic food, breastfeeding items, children's utensils, books (of recipes, nutrition, parenting, etc.) and also toys for children, related to the symbolic game of Cook and make the purchase.

In addition, they organize many activities to encourage children's fondness for cooking and healthy eating. They have cooking workshops, play with food, talks for parents, parenting group ...

Chamberí's Kitchen It is a very special personal project, which Paloma Montón, its owner, was gestating for a year until it was launched and the reason that led her to think of such an initiative was her motherhood. We have asked you to tell us how this idea was born, and just this week that we are talking so much about health and food safety, I find it very interesting to reproduce what you have explained to us:

Before I got pregnant, I worked in an editorial in the agri-food sector, and was in direct contact with agricultural producers and also with producers of phytosanitary products, pesticides, fertilizers, laboratories, veterinarians, etc.

At that time I began to worry a lot about all the chemical residues that carry the food we eat, and when I was a mother my concern focused mainly on the food that I gave to my daughter, a small developing person and with her defense system still immature

I moved a lot trying to find the optimal foods for her, as well as household items and other things that would facilitate our breastfeeding. Tired of traveling through Madrid, I thought it was necessary to find a place where we can find everything we need to feed our children, as well as information and training on nutrition, breastfeeding, recipes and everything else.

Another aspect that I loved about Chamberí's Kitchen is that it is a business aimed at child consumption, but thinking about providing healthy food and customs, it does not encourage consumerism and if healthy nutrition, play and making food something full of communication.

And finally, and I think this can serve as an inspiration for our readers, I love it when I read that a recent mother decides to change her life and look for a work alternative that allows her to enjoy her family more and also, collaborate so that childhood grows Happier and healthier. It is possible to become an entrepreneurial mom, and people like Paloma demonstrate it with projects like yours.

Chamberí's Kitchen It is on Trafalgar Street, 12, 50 meters from the Plaza de Olavide, very well connected, and, as I said, it organizes many activities so it has become a true meeting place for families. I loved it and I recommend you visit it. And of course, I encourage you to cook and play kitchens with your children.
