Overview
Key stage 2 students love to play with textures, explore new smells and tastes. The idea of taking a bunch of raw ingredients and turning them into something wonderful and tasty is almost magical….its food alchemy!
More importantly knowing where all this stuff comes from and how it got here is a History and Geography lesson all rolled into one….not forgetting of course all that measuring and weighing. Our subject deals with every aspect of a young person’s life. We try to give our young people skills for life, through food.
World culture, team work, discipline, planning, and appreciation of others all play a part in what will always be a whole person educational experience dressed up as a fun food adventure with a tasty ending for the whole family….enjoy!
