About The Kids’ Kitchen
The Kids' Kitchen cooking classes are designed so that your child can have a really
fun, hands-
Our aim is to help kids learn to cook and, by working with different recipes and ingredients, teach them about healthy eating and help broaden their palate. Above all, we want them to have FUN. Enjoyment in the kitchen lays the foundation for a love of cooking and a curiosity about food and where it comes from. And while they are having fun, they are also learning how to:
- Follow instructions (i.e. from reading a recipe)
- Measure (pouring liquids, using scales, dividing things into portions etc)
- Use kitchen equipment (scales, hand beaters, sieves, graters, scissors etc)
- Assess kitchen risks (things that are hot/ sharp etc)
- Further develop their fine motor skills (cutting, stirring, spreading etc)
- Recognise different types of fruit/ vegetables/ other ingredients that they perhaps have not come across before
- Try new foods
- Develop their own food preferences (the recipes have a simple rating scale for them to record what they thought about each recipe)
- Work as a team
- Lay the table
- Tidy up their own mess!
Classes run during the school holidays and on Sunday mornings and we also run preschool
classes for 2-
We provide all the ingredients, utensils, use of aprons and tuition. You need bring nothing apart from yourselves!
We also run fantastic kids' birthday parties
And, so that the grown ups aren't left out, we hold a series of adult workshops if you fancy trying out a cooking course with a difference!
All the food we prepare is meat free and hence suitable for kosher and halal diets. Where possible, our eggs, milk and dairy products and our fruit and vegetables (which are supplied by Riverford) are organic. We are happy to accommodate any allergies where possible, if you let us know sufficiently in advance.
The Kids' Kitchen is fully insured and CRB checked.
