Cooking with Children

Here at Splat Cooking we are passionate about getting children into the kitchen to learn, touch & taste food in a fun and informative way.  Our cookery classes and workshops are aimed at children aged 5-15 but of course older children are welcome.  We run the workshops in Devizes and our team have all been CRB checked, passed their Level 2 Food Safety exam and have undergone our training programme.   We love cooking and working with children of all ages.  Our workshops are very hands on and the children will take home the goodies they have made during the course unless otherwise specified.

Ages 5- 11  9.45am – 11.00am

Come along for a taster session at any time during the term to find out more.   The cooking club will be held in Devizes.

Join us for a fun cookery class from 9,45am until 11am every Saturday morning in term time.  Each week the children will make a different dish (a mixture of sweet and savoury dishes throughout the term), learn cooking techniques, explore different foods, run food experiments and take part in tastings.  We will use seasonal fruit and vegetables where possible.

The recipes will include pasta and Italian ice cream.  If you’d like to book siblings on the course then there is £5 discount for the second child.
