GETTING TO KNOW US
Cooking & Coaching is our passion
The Kidz Kitchen brings cooking classes to the children of Geelong and beyond. Through group cooking classes, workshops and parties, children learn the joy of cooking, working in a team and expressing themselves through food presentation. Our classes teach children practical life skills, aims to broaden their knowledge of where food comes from and provides an opportunity for them to practice their reading, maths and science in a fun and safe environment.
Our goal is to support children to learn basic kitchen skills and help understand the importance of cooking from scratch as well as providing an opportunity to try new ingredients. We are committed to teaching everyone the importance of cooking for themselves and others, planning, and safety in the kitchen. Cooking is a life skill for everyone. The earlier you can foster a love of good food, nutrition and cooking the better!
Why we do what we do:
-
Cooking is fun and creative
-
A way to establish life skills that needs to be passed down from generation to generation.
-
Besides the delicious factor, we do it to help children become independent thinkers and problem solvers.
-
A great way to get kids to eat real food is to get them in the kitchen measuring, mixing, chopping, kneading, smelling and tasting.
