Cooking Kids @ Gainsborough Community Kitchen

Children are introduced to chef and have access to fruit salad and will make a smoothie in the morning.

The Chef will then give them the menu for the day.

The children are split into groups to make starters, mains, dessert and salad. Children get a chance to rotate and make different foods everyday.

Once the cooking is on the way some groups will go out and get their ingredients from the garden whilst others will go with the Gardner to carry out gardening tasks.

Children will have a chance to explore local wildlife and plants whilst learning how to look after their plants and how to plant different fruit and vegetables and cook tasty vegetarian dishes.

We explore all dishes and fresh fruit and vegetables from all around the world from lentils, pastas and pumpkin and courgette brownies. We also look at superfoods from around the world and benefits of certain seeds and plants growing around us everyday.

Example of a day menu would consist of:
- Breakfast: soaked oats and banana smoothie
- Lunch: Caribbean chickpea, sweet potato, spinach, and coconut curry served with rice, salad, and roti
- Dessert: carrot and sultana muffins
