Book SynopsisThis book has been designed to provide teachers with the tools they need to include cooking in the classroom. With relative ease, teachers will be able to undertake a variety of healthy and fun food activities. Many of the recipes do not even require access to an oven! The book will help teachers meet the criteria of the September 2014 National Curriculum for all primary school children to learn cookery and about healthy eating. It provides a step-by-step approach, developing skills in food handling and understanding of the part food plays in the world around us, along with a range of cross-curricular links. Each of the 15 recipes is made as an individual mixture so children make and see their own achievements. The results are designed to go home with the child to share and demonstrate their new skills to siblings, parents, relations and friends. This can provide an excellent opportunity for celebrating achievement and lead to discussion about new foods and flavours at home. The teacher's notes also offer suggestions of both how to increase the skill demand of the recipe and how to make it easier, meaning that you can use the recipes through the whole age range of the school.

Book SynopsisYoung Children's Experimental Cookery encourages Early Years practitioners and teachers to take an innovative and creative approach to introducing young children to food and cooking. The book addresses wider issues such as healthy eating and food preparation skills, but also moves beyond the concept of traditional cookery lessons to celebrate food as a creative medium, offering immense scope for multi-sensory exploration and a variety of high quality learning experiences.Practitioners are encouraged to abandon recipes, take a step back, and afford children the freedom to chop, mix, stir and concoct their own creations, exploring fresh ingredients and experimenting with new tastes and smells along the way. Bridging the gap between food preparation and the development of confidence, imagination and creative-thinking skills, this open-ended approach to cooking sessions will equip children with skills which go far beyond those needed in the kitchen.FTrade ReviewThis book is a wonderful illustration of the way in which an innovative and creative approach to food and food preparation can encourage children, parents and practitioners to share experiences, learn together and embrace healthier lifestyles. It is particularly exciting to see the children grow in confidence, explore fresh ingredients, experiment with new tastes and smells and follow their own lines of enquiry."Sally Jaeckle, Early Years Services Manager, Bristol City Council, UK.The book looks in considerable depth into a vital area of children’s learning, how children develop their imagination and creativity in the context of using food as a creative material. The focus on multi-sensory exploration, creative thinking and imagination has been key to the success of this approach.Penny Hay, Senior Lecturer in Arts Education, Bath Spa University, UK, and Director of Research, 5x5x5=creativity."Young Children's Experimental Cookery, (...) encourages early years practitioners and teachers to take an innovative and creative approach to introducing young children to food and cooking. (...) The book also addresses wider issues, such as healthy eating and food preparation skills, but its value is in moving beyond the concept of traditional cookery lessons and instead to celebrate food as a creative medium, making this a highly stimulating read."Neil Henty, eyeTable of ContentsAcknowledgements 1.
