Children learn to cook nutritionally balanced meals from scratch with the best organic ingredients. Discussing the merits of each ingredient helps develop children's awareness of nutrition allowing them to make better informed choices at meal times.

A sense of achievement and feelings of ownership towards their own creations encourages children to try a variety of foods alongside their peers when we sit down for lunch.

All recipes are oven based and there are no knives involved, permitting even the youngest of budding chefs to participate.

Food hygiene features routinely in our classes and activities that encourage cleanliness are part of the fun. Best of all, mums and dads get NO WASHING UP.
