Does your child love food, or is he or she curious about cooking? Are you looking to spark their interest and start them on a path of independence, with inspiration for wholesome and healthy meals you can also cook together? Do you want to teach your child foods of the world? Kids Cookery Club is just the treat for you.
Sign up your young chefs from 7 - 15 year-olds. (younger children may be considered if parents are confident of their skills and happy to supervise during class)
*Children are paired with their age group
(8-11, 12 - 15)
As a professional chef, cookery writer and former tv chef, I set up the kids cookery club after many parents in our adult cookery classes expressed an interest in empowering their children to learn to cook and broaden their horizons.
After working on tv for a few years, I have grown a community of food lovers for catering, media publishing, top brands and clients such as Tilda Rice, Le Creuset, Neptune Homes, Miele and more with cookery schools run across London and the South East and in collaboration with the likes of Wefifo & Waitrose Cookery School. I am also a regular contributor on BBC Sussex & Surrey, where I share recipes on air with listeners. Our new cookery school in Eastbourne is much needed in the community, to inspire and empower us to eat well and to bring people together. Read more about me here.
