Kids Cookalong

Join us in the kitchen and let’s get cooking! This session we’ll be learning how to make ‘Shrek Pasta’ – paste with a creamy, dreamy, green sauce! These family friendly cookalongs let your little chefs take the lead and whether you’d like your child to learn valuable cooking skills, become a less fussy eater, build an awareness of food waste or understand the importance of a healthy diet, these sessions offer something for everyone. You’ll be working in small groups with your child(ren), whilst being guided through a child-friendly recipe. Then, when the cooking (and washing up) is done, we’ll set the table and eat together. Our cookalongs use surplus food collected through our food larder. All pre-registered dietary requirements are catered for and where possible we offer a variation of ingredients. Suitable for children ages 6-16 with a responsible adult. Our Kids Cookalongs are delivered in partnership with Kendal Dental Care.
