Kids in the Kitchen
Online cookery workshops for young people aged 7-14 (with a bit of flexibility each way)
Have fun and amaze your friends and family cooking beautiful food the healthy way:
Do your children love to spend time in the kitchen? Would it be great if they were to help with meals more often? Are you frustrated that the only cookery education they have access to is baking cookies?
I'm here to do something a bit different.
I'm Susannah and I'm a nutritional therapist with over 20 years' experience teaching in formal and informal settings. I've loved cooking ever since I was a child, and I'd love to bring the joy of cooking to your family.
Are you passionate about healthy eating, but hate boring or preachy messages? In my cooking workshops I'll enable your children to enjoy the colours, flavours and textures of healthy meals. Healthy will never be boring again.
Your children can join me every other Sunday for an online cookery class that's fun and delicious, with a healthy twist.
Healthy, fun & accessible
I don't do boring food! We'll prepare exciting, colourful dishes from all over the world, without having to go to the ends of the earth to find difficult ingredients. It won't cost the earth either.
All my recipes are free of refined sugar, and most are gluten free. Recipes can be adapted for most dietary needs - and I'll even leave out anything your children really can't stand!
Learning skills for life while playing
Cooking reinforces many valuable skills. As well as the cooking itself, children can practice weighing and measuring, problem solving, science, communication, using descriptive language and more. But it doesn't feel like learning. What's more, our young cooks find cooking really helpful for their mental health. At the present time, that's more important than ever.
Your children cook, so you don't have to
Recipes will be designed for children in Year 3 and upwards to complete with minimal supervision. Younger children are welcome, but they will need more help. Take a break, & let your children create something delicious for you. Or, get involved. Some of our parents enjoy this almost as much ast their children!
I'm Susannah Alexander, nutritional therapist, speaker and educator. I've been working with young people for over 20 years. I ran a museum education service for 7 years and I've taught formally and informally for all ages. I continute to teach and tutor every day.
I've always been passionate about food, and loved cooking. I strongly feel that getting children involved in preparing and tasing delicious, healthy food is the key to giving them a healty relationship with food and their bodies for life. With the huge body image issues that young people face in today's world, this may be one of the most valuable gifts we can give them.
I love healthy eating and I have a first class honours degree in nutritional therapy. But, above all, I want the experience of cooking and eating to be a wonderful adventure for young people so that healthy eating never feels dry or boring, and being in the kitchen never seems like a chore, but becomes an exciting tale of discovery.
Whether it's their first time in the kitchen, or they already enjoy cooking, I'd love to enable your children to take the next step towards the joys of the healthy kitchen.
“This was fabulous. (Child's name) (7) thoroughly enjoyed it. She only needed minimal help. We are in.”
Julie C. (Business Coach and Super-Mum)
"My 6 year old twins have had a great time cooking-a-long with Susannah and making some truly delicious treats. Susannah has sent the ingredients in advance so we have been able to prepare beforehand and she has taken them through each recipe at a steady pace, explaining each stage clearly and stopping when she has spotted one of them getting a bit behind. I cannot praise her enough and we are looking forward to the next cook-a-long! .”
