Process Cooking...fun filled learning!

'A little bit like a crazy chef'

Last year we undertook a project around offering children opportunities to be involved in a wide range of process cooking experiences.  The title of our book came about through conversation with Liam while looking at photos of cooking experiences with him.  He stated "I'm a little bit like a crazy chef ah?!" and of course this just had to be the title of our book!  Our cover art is  from Emily who said her artwork was her Dad because "he's a crazy chef!"

After a number of hurdles to get our finished book printed, we were excited to host a cookbook launch and coffee morning for parents to view the results of our year long project last Friday.  Children were excited to see themselves in print too!

The allure of mixing, measuring, experimenting, creating and tasting food is too much for children to resist.  Cooking together is a bonding experience where memories are made...a joy for the senses where sights, smells and taste spark the memory for years to come. 

The learning undertaken throughout the year was immense and we've put together a short slideshow with just a snippet for you to enjoy...
