Amanda Farwick

Our son Wilson was born with down syndrome and had early intervention, speech, physical and occupational therapies from a young age. His therapists would tell us to have him pretend to stir or grab objects with tongs or to work with him to stand and step up and down from a stool. Being someone who loves to cook I thought, why not just have him actually help me stir, or serve food with tongs, while practicing getting up and down and standing on a stool?

I am not a therapist or a chef. I am just a Mama who loves to cook and wants to help her son gain as much independence and learn as many life skills as possible.

Together with our sous-chef Wilson and my husband Steve behind the camera, we are the Farwick Family from Lexington, South Carolina. We encourage you to have fun learning together in the kitchen.
