Our Story

Founded in 2016 by Nellie Johnston, Growing Thyme Cooking began with a simple mission: to teach children essential nutrition and cooking skills. As a mother of four with a background in sports medicine and nutrition, Nellie knows firsthand that building a healthy, joyful relationship with food starts early.

Our Curriculum & Courses

We offer six kid-friendly, nutrition-focused courses designed to educate and inspire young chefs—available in both print and downloadable PDF formats. Five courses focus on hands-on cooking and targeted nutrition topics, alongside a foundational basic nutrition course.
