Cooking Fresh for children
The best time to teach children about good nutrition is as early as possible and it’s a lesson that instills healthy habits for life.
With obesity rates on the rise it is important to set a good example and to show your children how tasty good food can be.
To help families get started on the path to healthy eating the Newcastle City Farmer’s Market’s Cooking Fresh will hold special shopping and cooking sessions aimed at young children.
Market chef Stephane Pois, from The Art of Wine, has designed a special class just for youngsters which will help develop their knowledge of healthy food.
The class will involve a 20 minute tour of the market where they get to sample some goodies, meet the producers and farmers and head back to a specially built market kitchen to prepare a fresh meal.
The class will be limited to six children for each session and children under 10 years must be accompanied by an adult.
Bookings can be made at the Cooking Fresh kitchen on the village green at the Markets with the first tour at 10am and more scheduled throughout the day between Chef Pois’ cooking demonstrations.
