Kids are having fun in the kitchen too...


Hi there, April is always a busy time as we prepare our classes for the kids in our lives. With school holidays, Passover and Easter there is so much to do. Putting on cooking classes for kids is however very rewarding as they are eager learners and are so happy to be handling ingredients. Simple everyday tasks like cracking a egg and making their own scrambled eggs from beginning to end in a stress free environment makes for a very fun experience. The occasional egg does land up on the floor however the kids take it in their stride and have a good laugh. Whisking, mixing and writing down their own recipes to take home create a great sense of satisfaction for them as well. They learn techniques and are all given the chance to prepare and cook their dishes from start to finish. We find that classes work best when the participants are close in age e.g. between 6 - 8 years of age. That way they are all on the same page and the results are very good.
