COOKING DINNER WITH THE KIDS - An online after school cookery course designed with kids in mind!

My brand new 6 week course is packed with skills, techniques and delicious recipes that will delight your tastebuds and tummies. I have noticed a huge gap in the market for courses which actually teach our children real cooking skills which they can use to create nutritious and delicious meals, and with the decrease in cookery teaching in many schools, I want to help fill this gap and get our kids cooking dinner!

I focus on using fresh ingredients and whole foods to create delicious meals packed with rainbow coloured vegetables, a variety of protein sources and carbohydrates too. The menus will all have meat/fish and vegetarian options included so that you can choose the version that you want to make.

Each session lasts an hour, and will contain many different skills, which will build week by week to the final class which will be making pasta by hand!

The live sessions will take place from 4:30pm - 5:30pm, and will be recorded for those unable to attend at that time (recordings available for a whole year to watch whenever you want!)

You will receive the entire course contents, recipes, equipment lists and rough time plans a couple of weeks before the course starts in order to get yourself prepared, but you can rest assured that no specialist equipment will be required, just simple and normal kitchen ware.

I will be running one course for ages 4-10, and another for ages 11-16 years. You know your kids best! These ages are a guideline and the classes are open to any age. The accompanying adult can do more or less depending on the needs of your child. I will give the older age group a little more to do, skill wise as well as time (an extra 15ish minutes per class) to fit it in. If you have an experienced 8 year old cook, or a 14 year old who hasn't cooked much before, they can go in whichever you feel is best suited to them. The courses will run on Zoom, therefore you won't see the other participants, so please choose the class which you feel is most suitable for your child and their ability. Please do ping me over an email if you have any questions at all about this and I will do my best to help.

Do bear in mind that even enthusiastic younger cooks may not want to stay for the entire class, or may want to dip in and out of the class, so do take advantage of the recording if you want to practice the different cooking skills at other times with them.

The only preparation you will need to do before the class starts is getting the ingredients out, and a space cleared for cooking. We will do all of the preparation and cooking during the class!
