Food & Nutrition Sessions For Children
At
Pre-Schools, Long Day Care & Early Learning Centres (ELC’s)
These sessions focus on healthier options for the lunch box that are affordable, quick, easy and cater to allergies and intolerances
Sessions include a Newsletter insert for carers with recipe, cooking and nutrition information that compliments the session
Benefits of Buy Cook Eat Food & Nutrition Sessions
Our cooking demonstration sessions are interactive for children aged 2 - 5 years, but can be tailored to a specific age group
Research shows that if children participate in making meals and snacks they are more likely to try the food they have made. These sessions provide an opportunity for children to experience different foods in a non threatening relaxed environment
Children get hands on experience learning about cooking, nutrition, science and maths in an interactive and fun way
Our sessions complement the Munch and Move program; can support with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and align with Centre Philosophies
The recipes and information provided to carers increase the chances of children having healthier options in their lunch box through education and access to healthier recipes
What is included in the sessions
Food and Nutrition Session with Monique from Buy Cook Eat who is a university qualified Nutritionist and Food Scientist
Buy Cook Eat provide all the equipment and ingredients for each session
During the session Monique will talk to the children about cooking skills and equipment, nutrition, food science and maths concepts at an age appropriate level while measuring, stirring, mixing and chopping ingredients in a safe way. Children will make enough of the recipe for up to around 30 - 40 children to have a taste test.
After the session we will email the recipe that was used in the session and a one page article/newsletter insert for you to use in your next newsletter. We also include images of the item that was made and photos of it in a lunch box for inspiration for carers
We have a range of over 20 recipes that we have developed. These include sweet and savoury items with a focus on vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. Recipes can be adapted to cater for allergies and intolerances. All recipes are egg and nut free, and can also be dairy free.
Sessions run for upto 120 minutes from the time we arrive until the time we leave. This includes set up, carrying out the session, cooking the item and pack up
Sessions can be with up to 12 children however a smaller group does work better for engagement, for example around 4 - 6 children. We can carry out up to two back to back sessions if needed
We will utilise the centres oven and kitchen sink area as well as use the centres cleaning equipment if possible so we are not bringing in any chemicals that are not part of the centres WHS program
