Saturday mornings are for 8-11 year olds – a fun introduction to cooking techniques and vocabulary.

During term time, our Little Chefs Club runs on Saturdays between 9.30am and 12, in a 6-week programme. 

All ingredients and equipment are provided, along with snacks and refreshments.

This popular Saturday morning cookery club has several main goals, including:

• Learning valuable life skills and practicing them in a safe environment.
• Experimenting with new ingredients.
• Identifying functional preparation and cooking techniques to encourage independence when cooking at home.
• Working independently to create dishes from scratch.
• Understanding healthy eating and food safety and hygiene.
• Meeting new people and nurturing communication skills.
• Working in a team environment.
• Collecting a variety of recipes with transferrable skills.
• Creating two dishes in the weekly sessions.

Our Little Chefs club has been running for over six years and covers:

• Fruits and vegetables, how to prepare and cook and incorporate with a dish and in a recipe. 
• Carbohydrates, potatoes, pasta and rice.
• Basic breads, naan, bread rolls and pitta.
• Traybakes, selection of basic cakes and biscuits. 
• Basic sauces: tomato, white sauce and velouté. 
• Identifying cookery methods of frying, baking, steaming, and boiling.

It’s a natural progression from Little Chefs to our After School Teens Cookery club.
