Cooking

Corporate Cooking Demos | School Cooking Classes | Sports Teams | Birthday Party Cooking Classes[/text_output][text_output]One of the most important life skills to learn is how to cook! With so much convenience at our fingertips, coupled with marketing skills encouraging people to ‘just buy ready-made’ it can be hard to even believe we can put together a quick simple meal after a long day at work – but guess what – it can be learned, mastered and become even more convenient than stopping at that corner spot. There is a time and place for certain pre-packaged foods, or heading out to a restaurant for a lovely meal. However, the more we can cook in our homes, for ourselves and our families, using familiar ingredients to know what is going into the food we are eating, the better our health will be. Getting kids involved in the process is the icing on the cake!

Kids Cooking Camps

[/text_output][text_output]Andrea’s Cooking Camps are a safe space for children to learn, be themselves and make new friends! From chopping, measuring, baking, mixing, cleaning and understanding food safety, children learn and develop upon this critical skill, resulting in more confidence not only in the kitchen, but transitioning to other skills as well.[/text_output][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][x_video_embed no_container=”true”][/x_video_embed][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][x_video_embed no_container=”true”][/x_video_embed][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row inner_container=”true” no_margin=”true” padding_top=”5%” padding_bottom=”5%” bg_color=”#89050d” class=”text-white”][vc_column width=”1/6″ style=”padding-top: 10%;”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][text_output]

“As a parent and dietitian I think this is an excellent idea and opportunity. My daughter attended Andrea’s March break and summer cooking camp. She absolutely loves the experience and has made some of the recipes at home with us – she is generally not a very adventurous eater and I see the benefit the camps have had on this. I see how this inspires her to get in the kitchen and learn about food and nutrition. We know that kids have less and less skills in preparing healthy meals and from my experience working in adult diabetes, the lack of cooking skills and nutrition knowledge really puts people at a higher risk of developing chronic disease(s) and at a disadvantage in managing them.

I’m obviously very passionate about this and see the impact that knowledge and practice (sprinkled with lots of fun) can have on developing healthy behaviours. I would fully support this!”

“My daughter attended Andrea’s March Break cooking camp and I want to say thank you. She came home every day so excited about what she learned and cooked. She hopes to be a chef possibly one day so this was amazing for her. Thank you also for the recipe book, we plan on cooking those recipes at home. We are looking forward to the summer as Julia said she wants to do your summer program as well. Thank you again Andrea!”

“Gabriela had a great time at the cooking camp. She has definitely shown more of an interest in kitchen safety and choosing healthier foods. She also liked being involved in the various interactive activities.”

“We just love Andrea’s cooking camp(s). This is Jake’s third year in a row going to Andrea’s cooking camp! Andrea offers a new theme for each camp and sends home all the recipes they learned at the end of the week. Jake has so much fun learning, playing & cooking all week.

His confidence in the kitchen has definitely increased and he has tried many new foods at camp which he would not have considered trying for us at home. One of Jake’s favourite recipes which he keeps talking about are the Pizza Bombs and we can’t wait to make them together at home.

Since camp Jake has taken the initiative and requested to make his own snacks. We were very impressed by this and have now made him his own designated drawer in the fridge to encourage his cooking. Thank you for everything Andrea, you are such a great teacher and role model to our son.”

“My daughter was very happy to come home every day with proud left overs for big sister to try what she made. She also loved playing with all of the kids. Olive learned what ingredients are needed to make some basic foods she might otherwise not have realized goes into recipes. Olive has always enjoyed cooking at home and now has her own ‘recipes’ of things she made in camp that she wants to try at home to show us what she did. Thankfully the ground turkey tacos have opened her eyes to new taco flavour yay!”
