Gourmet Gus Eats was founded in 2023 by Adam Pickens when I started cooking with my kids. Seeing his kids having a taste for a variety of foods well beyond the typical ones, 3-year-old & 5-year-old, was attributed to the environment where they grew up. Knowing many parents out there who would love to eat adventurously again and form deep bonds cooking with their kids. Adam decided to launch Gourmet Gus Eats. Cooking alongside their parents, kids learn life and academic skills: Math, Reading, & Science. Gourmet Gus Eats strives to facilitate knowledge but also instill a sense of adventure as kids can read about Gourmet Gus’s adventures in the Gourmet Gus children’s books written by Adam and the Gourmet Gus book series co-founder/illustrator Sarah Dallas.

Our mission at Gourmet Gus is to inspire parents and kids to cook together with their children and create tasty and adventurous meals in a fun and educational way. At Gourmet Gus, we aim to provide easy-to-follow recipes, helpful tips, and engaging activities to promote healthy eating habits, a love for cooking, and a taste for adventure. Let’s get cooking together!
