From age 8+ – only 6 places available at The Functional Foodie Cookery School at St Mellion in S.E. Cornwall.One of the biggest gifts you can give your child is the ability to cook economically, deliciously and confidently from scratch.
Jump In begins this term with 4 sessions that teach a range of skills, dishes and food knowledge, building into a comprehensive education over the term, and the year, in what and how to cook healthily and deliciously, for life. Nutrition and healthy eating are naturally part of the instruction.
Mastering Meals:
Knowing how to produce quick, tasty and nutritious main meals is probably one of the most important skills in how to cook from scratch for life, especially when we’re tired and tempted by the takeaway or ready meal. Making base sauces with a protein source that can be turned into diferent suppers, or throwing a protein source, veg and herbs and spices into a baking tray to put in the oven are perfect ways to put tasty, healthy meals on the table day after day.
The children will learn how to weigh, measure, and combine ingredients so that they are ready simultaneously and produce staple protein sources with sauces that can be eaten with pasta, rice, vegetables, as one pan bakes or in pies. They will make a dairy-based sauce with chicken, a sausage and veg bake with beans, and meatballs for pasta or as a bake.
Over the course of the term, and the school year, children can develop into confident cooks, savvy shoppers and discerning eaters with a grasp of where food comes from, what is healthy, and how to use it.
