Cooking
Let’s do some cooking! Getting children involved in the cooking process has many benefits. It’s a fun way to learn together and bond. It’s also an incredible way to boost confidence and build self-esteem throughout the lifespan, and it increases the chances of getting kids to eat healthier foods.
In this course we focus on kid-friendly, healthy, organic, all plant-based (no animal products, no GMO, no additives) recipes that are age-appropriate. We will use simple techniques. We plan and cook simple, nutritious & delicious recipes (soups, pasta dishes, desserts, smoothies, ethnic foods, etc.) together, and enjoy the food we made. Throughout the course, we will also try new and exciting foods – flavors and textures your child might not know about yet – to open up their taste buds and offer new culinary experiences. As we do this, the children’s cooking skills might advance, as well as their creativity and curiosity in the kitchen.
Age of students
7-11 years or 12-15 years
