A summary
Through our provision at Cook Stars, children will enjoy hands on cooking sessions where they each prepare their own delicious dish from scratch - weighing, chopping, mixing and measuring ingredients safely with step-by-step guidance. They’ll learn about healthy eating, food hygiene and trying new flavours while building confidence, fine motor skills and teamwork in a fun, inclusive group setting. After cooking their first dish, they’ll take part in a relaxing craft activity and fun physical activity while their food bakes (if needed). Then they will cook up a sweet dish to take home with them, along with recipe cards so that they can recreate their dish with their families.

Making Cooking Child's Play!
I run Cook Stars sessions in my local area, where I combine my love of food, teaching and working with children. I’m passionate about helping children grow in confidence in the kitchen, try new foods and develop lifelong cooking skills in a fun, relaxed environment. At Cook Stars, we provide hands-on cooking classes, school clubs, holiday workshops and parties for children, with everything included so they can simply turn up and get cooking. Children each make their own dish from scratch, learn to weigh, chop, mix and measure, and then enjoy a craft or activity while their food cooks, before taking their creations home to share. Our sessions are friendly, inclusive and designed to support children’s wellbeing: they build independence, fine motor skills, teamwork and an understanding of healthy eating, all while having fun!
What's included
- An apron to wear whilst cooking - A craft activity to do whilst the dish is in the oven - Fun physical activity/game to break up the day - All ingredients and equipment - Either lunch or dinner (which the children will be cooking themselves), along with some sides (veggie sticks, hummus etc), snacks and sugar-free squash - A recipe card and paper bag for the children to take the sweet dish home with them
Learning aims
Aim 1

A typical timetable
It will depend on whether you do the morning session or afternoon session but this is what a typical day would look like: - Come in and start the day by doing a nice mindfulness stretch with the rest of the children. - Start cooking up lunch. - Once lunch is in the oven, do a physical activity to get blood pumping. - Have lunch when it's cooked. - Option to have some free play at this point. - Get ready for the second round of cooking - this time it will be a sweet recipe. - Do a craft activity whilst the food is in the oven. - Get ready for home time and take home the sweet dish and recipe cards.

Cancellation Policy
Refunds are not generally available, but may be considered with sufficient notice.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
