Kids Cook

Seedling Series

New for 2013, Cookbook Cafe has partnered with the Edible Playgrounds project (part of Trees for Cities) to launch the Seedling Series Kids Cook programme, which celebrates ingredients and teaches kids where food comes. Executive Chef Paul Bates has created a series of twice-monthly seasonal classes for kids aged 5-8 that are designed to be educational, interactive and most importantly fun!

During Jersey Royal season, kids get to make their very own Mr Potato Head (complete with seaweed hair) and find out how potatoes grow, and where they come from.

Kids get creative with mini-wooden spoons, aprons, and chef hats, and at the end of the session they will receive a selection of seeds so they can continue their exploration at home. The sessions take place on select Saturday’s during Cookbook Cafe’s award-winning brunch, where parents are free to join in and get their hands dirty or sit back while the children are entertained. In addition to an ongoing partnership with the Edible Playground project, there will be an optional donation for each guest to the programme.

Costs £10 per child*. To book, please contact us.
Kids Cook starts at 1pm on selected Saturday's.
*Only available to children attending brunch on select Saturday's.
