What We Do

Our passion is to inspire children to get involved with food and cooking and we believe that children, as young as two, can achieve far more in the kitchen than you might expect.
Our approach is to encourage children to get involved in preparing family meals, whether it’s washing or peeling vegetables or rubbing butter into flour to make scones.

Our own unique cooking language recognises the skills that children already have and will be developing at such a young age and helping them to transfer them confidently into a domestic kitchen environment.
​

Our cookery language

• Popping a pepper is fun and fascinating when you reveal the inside. Just put a whole pepper on a mat with the stalk facing up. Place both thumbs on the top where the stalk is and then push down on the middle of the pepper and it will pop. It can then be pulled apart and the stalk and seeds removed.
• Doing the twist when preparing a fruit like an avocado makes children smile. An obligatory bottom waggle is the icing on the cake.
• Bashing a bag of peeled garlic cloves is noisy, rewarding and saves on washing up.
• Painting with oil to grease a container is just as easy as painting a picture.
• Tickling your friend is a great way to warm up your fingers to prepare for rubbing butter into the flour to make delicious scones.
• And of course everyone’s favourite – pricking the pastry with a fork to help avoid a soggy bottom is a must!

Flavour School

Flavour School is a programme for schools that provides fun and simple ways to help children (and adults!) learn about the senses, taste and flavour.  It is based on the Sapere method for sensory education; you can find out more about Sapere at http://sapere-asso.fr/en/

Sally and Kate are leading the roll-out of the Flavour School programme in the South of England and will be piloting it in schools from April 2017.   Training dates will be released soon for the Autumn.
