Culinary Art
Cooking allows children to make an independent contribution. First, creating a meal for the family is a responsible, meaningful contribution a young person can make. Second, it enables them to express their feelings for their family and experience gratitude and positive feedback in return. Third, it can provide a much-needed break from the kitchen for stressed parents with so much on their plates (pun intended) at this difficult time. Finally, it can bring families together.
The pre-and teenage years can be a notoriously tricky time for parent-child relationships. Cooking can unite the generations to do a non-hierarchical and non-confrontational activity and promote a shared sense of achievement.

Where to start? What an amazing experience for my children! All the volunteers and people who came together to make this possible we are so grateful the different leadership skills and life lessons, and new opportunities that this class has brought is endless. With not many opportunities for children to do extra curriculum activities and providing them with the food to cook at home for their family was truly a blessing!
