ZZZ Get Kids Cooking Class Winter #2 DNU

Brilliantly these days learning about food and how to be confident in the kitchen is considered a pretty cool pastime. With so many cooking programmes on TV including Junior MasterChef younger members of our families are being exposed to a wider variety of ingredients. How do you ensure your children will make intelligent food choices and know how to feed themselves to maintain their wellbeing in the future?

Watching TV to learn about cooking is simply not enough. Unless you have a scratch-and-lick TV screen nothing can be tasted. Obviously! Part of the fun of cooking is the eating bit, as well as smelling the aroma of a baking cake, feeling the sauce thicken as it is stirred and comes to the boil or working dough to become smooth and elastic as it is kneaded. It’s kind of like magic.

This is more than just a cooking class for kids.

Teaching whilst ‘doing’ is the best way to learn. Understanding kitchen techniques involves  science and maths to grasp the WHY of what happens to food when for example, heat or perhaps friction is applied. When the result is so yummy how can it not be fun. Classes are taught in an entertaining way that keeps everyones interest peaked.

Taste education is as important as knowing how to cook. Why do we like some foods and not others? In this safe environment flavours AND textures will be explored and discussed. Tracey has seen so much positive peer group pressure in past kids cooking classes as most  participants join in with experiments so they don’t miss out on the fun and laughter!

Oh, and cleaning up is all part of the deal. Your children will learn the tips and tricks to keeping a clean, organised and safe kitchen.

Both Tracey and Bryonie are qualified chef’s, have working with children clearances and are themselves, mums. They both are passionate about teaching kids how to enjoy food and cooking, which of course is an essential part of living.

Apologies, but due to the nature of this class and group participation only nut allergies can be catered for .
