Cooking with Kids - for a healthy tummy and a healthy planet

Food is the fuel of our lives and the cornerstone of our health. However, it also have a big impact on the planet we live in.

Have you ever wondered about how to feed your family a healthy diet while making sure we cause the least impact possible to their future home? Do you want to get your kids more involved in cooking and food?

To learn a bit more about this we are organising a fun session for parents and children to prepare a dish together covering some principles of sustainable food: more veggies, better food, less waste.

We will touch, smell and look at various ingredients and work together at preparing them. There will be a lot of washing and chopping while we investigate what makes a planet-friendly dish, as well as what is healthy and how to waste less. This will be a relaxed session with plenty of time for having fun together, asking questions and just plain chatting and a great opportunity to engage our children into the world of cooking.

The session will take place on the 28th of September, at Amersham Youth (close to the Life Style Center, behind the ambulance station). We will host around 15 families, with children from 4-12 years of age (everyone can enjoy this workshop, those who can safely chop food can prepare the whole dish). Be ready to arrange a dish that you can take home! Please bring a Tupper so we can save a bit of single-use plastic.

Register for this event here or contact us with any questions.

This event is funded by the Amersham & Villages Community Board. We have set a £5 ticket price ( for 1 child + 1 adult). This is a donation to guarantee attendance and the income will be used for additional “little green adventures” activities. If you wish to attend but cannot afford this event please contact us as we have concession tickets.
