Whether your child is a budding young chef or brand new to the kitchen, our Little Chef Cookery Workshops offer a fun, hands-on cooking experience during the school holidays. Children will explore a variety of sweet and savoury dishes, gaining the confidence, creativity, and practical skills to make their own delicious creations at home.
Workshops can be booked for single days or for the full course — perfect for curious cooks who can’t get enough!
What to Expect
Guided by our experienced Food Technology teacher, Mrs Christine Steenekamp, children will learn key kitchen skills including:
· Food preparation and cooking techniques
· Kitchen hygiene and safety
· How to follow recipes
Between cooking sessions, we take regular breaks and enjoy light-hearted activities and regular outside breaks. At the end of the day, every child will proudly take home their creations to share with family and friends.
