This is designed so the children can have fun, hands-on cooking sessions.  Staff led, our aim is to help the children learn to cook simple recipes and, by working with different ingredients, teach them about healthy eating.  We hope to develop a love of cooking and a curiosity about food and where it comes from.  While they are having fun, they also learn how to:  follow instructions, measure, use equipment, be aware of kitchen risks, further develop their fine motor skills, recognise different types of fruit/vegetable/other ingredients, try new foods, work as a team, lay the table and tidy up their own mess!  We provide all the ingredients, utensils and use of aprons.
