WELCOME TO BUSY LITTLE CHEFS
Thanks for stopping by to meet the Busy Little Chefs family! This whole process with the kids has been a labor of love. From the messy mixing and taste testing (aka finger licking) to the artistic creations, it’s been an amazing learning experience for all of us on so many different levels! (Top tip: don’t try the sweet stuff just before bedtime…It seems a little obvious right now!)
My love for cooking started when I was little – baking millionaire shortbread with my Granny in her pastel pink kitchen in the North of England. We’d then play at having a posh afternoon tea with my pretend husband (my little brother, 4 at the time). This would entail my Granny wearing her best pinny and my Grandpa, the obedient butler, pouring luke warm tea into their far-from-best tea set.
Of course, I used to love helping my mom in the kitchen too. She prepared a different meal every night for the family and could create an amazing meal out of thin air.
But it was after school, when I worked as a chalet host in a ski resort in the Alps, that I really started learning my way around the kitchen. In my first year I was an assistant to the chalet chef and second year I went it alone as chef and host to a small chalet of 10.
Of course, a family of my own has brought about a new set of cooking challenges, setting my kids on the path to healthy eating habits. Now, I’m all about simple, tasty and nourishing family meals, snacks and treats.
So come along and join us on the Busy Little Chefs journey!

About Dyana – the founder of Busy Little Chefs and creator of so many recipes here
The kitchen is my happy place, it’s where l find my Zen. It became a passion in my 20s and, after plenty of cooking classes, I was off to culinary school. I’m fascinated with all the niche cooking and wowed every day by the talent and creativity that people share of their culinary creations.
Then my youngest, Brody, had a natural interest in all things food and cooking so he joined me in my kitchen adventures. We had such fun spending time together and being creative through food. He was hilarious, coming up with recipes that didn’t make sense! But we also came up with plenty of delicious snacks and meals that have become family favorites. Eventually this led to the creation of Busy Little Chefs!
