Little Chefs with Rose Cant – Saturday 10am
Aprons on, hands ready! Children can join Rose Cant (who you might know as Mum on Muddy Lane on Instagram) for fun, interactive cooking classes.
Roll up your sleeves and get ready to make your very own pasta salad!
Kids (or pairs of kids) can choose their favourite ingredients, explore different flavours, and learn how to build a dish with exciting textures and tastes.
We’ll talk about sauces, how to mix fats and acids to make them yummy, and even experiment with simple techniques – all in a fun, hands-on way. It’s a mini food adventure where every child can create something of their own and learn some food facts to takeaway.
There will be chefs’ hats and aprons to wear, plus prizes for the best flavoured, best looking and most inventive pasta creation!
The sessions are free to attend but you’ll need to book a place in advance.
