Class Experience

Cooking classes engage children in fun and practical culinary activities that teach basic skills while promoting healthy habits. Children follow simple, age-appropriate recipes, developing independence and confidence in the kitchen. Through measuring ingredients, mixing, and following instructions, they enhance their fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities.

Nutritional lessons introduce concepts such as balanced diets and healthy food choices, helping children understand the importance of what they eat. Cooking sessions often include recipes from different cultures, broadening their horizons and fostering respect for diversity. Safety and hygiene practices, such as proper handwashing and utensil use, are emphasised throughout. Incorporating produce grown in the garden teaches farm-to-table principles, creating meaningful connections between gardening, cooking, and healthy living.
