Kids Cooking Program

Why we think teaching kids about food and cooking is absolutely essential.

The kitchen is a fascinating place for kids but with our busy lifestyles there often isn't enough time to involve them in the process of how food arrives on the table.

The skill to prepare simple, tasty and nutritious food is a life skill; part of the process of becoming healthy, independent adults. The earlier we impart these skills to children, the more likely they are to adopt healthy eating habits and lifestyles.

The Foodish program teaches:

KNOWLEDGE

• Where food comes from
• How best to prepare it
• Information about nutrition
• Health and safety skills in the kitchen

LIFE SKILLS

• Setting up healthy eating habits
• Being self-reliant by cleaning up after yourself
• Social skills through working in small teams

ACADEMIC

• Through reading and interpreting recipes
• Doing maths around portioning and weighing
• Understanding basic principles in science

The kitchen is a laboratory for learning!
