RAPA seeks funding to deliver a cookery programme Big Chef, Little Chef for children 8-15 years. Participants will engage in food preparation and cookery education sessions. The sessions will be fun with food preparation, basic menu planning to assist children and young people to develop new skills and knowledge in food hygiene, food preparation, budget cookery, and gain increased confidence in a kitchen environment contributing skills and learning for their life-long health. The programme will eliminate the anxieties of food preparation and hot and cold dish cooking, address social myth that it is deemed expensive to eat or adopt to eating healthy nutrituous foods. The sessions will also help prevent children and young people from developing poor diet and lifestyle choices by offering them positive options and news skills to practice health life options. Playworker staff will also provide healthy options information and health-related information and support to a marginalised group who has restricted access to this information or lifestyles at home prove difficult due to living in a deprived area impacted by hunger and poverty. Sessions will run in blocks of 6 weeks for 2 hours for 10 children and young people aged 8-15yrs x 1 early evening per week x 8 blocks annually with each child and young person working together to prepare and cook low-cost, healthy snacks and meals. The sessions will introduce basic food prep skills and teach the children and young people to chop vegetables, prepare healthy finger foods, healthy pizzas, fruit salads, fruit kebabs, no-bake, healthy smoothies, various salads, make their own coleslaw, omelettes, wraps with various fillings, hot pot dishes, soups and overall promote fun with food. We will also introduce basic food hygiene skills to promote confident independence whilst preparing and eating food. We will also introduce children to new nutritious foods, healthy snacks and fruits, flavours and textures. By offering access to Big Chef Little Chef sessions we are ensuring that every attending child and young person will have access to good hot and cold wholesome food. The children and young people will also learn how to prepare simple fruit and vegetable dishes and snacks easily and quickly. We will also introduce quick and easy menus for the children and young people to try and also for them to take away. Children and young people will prepare various food dishes weekly i.e tossed salad dishes, soups, hot pots, finger foods etc and each week we will introduce a new dish or snack. The sessions will provide children and young people with basic food prep skills and for some children and young people they will achieve enhanced skills in basic, quick and healthy food preparation. The children and young people will also go shopping for ingredients (introducing them to learn about food marketing, labelling and budgeting) initially at the early introductory sessions at each workshop. Children and young people will also improve their literacy and numeracy capabilities through the reading of recipes, menus and measuring and weighing ingredients. Additionally, we are aware that many attending children and young people to our playground are fending for themselves in regards to feeding themselves and do not have access to regular home cooked meals or snacks. We believe our sessions are also a discreet way of ensuring that children and young people have access to regular, free nutritious food and will also gain independence skills in choosing and preparing nutritious snacks and dishes and therefore can apply these learned skills in their everyday lives. Children and young people will also engage in practical discussion on kitchen safety; food hygiene; good sugar v bad sugar; portion sizes; and the importance of physical activity and the importance of eating nutritious foods and snacks to help them achieve positive diet and lifestyle choices. We aim to discuss and incorporate the Fork to Table theme in our Big Chef little Chef cookery sessions to help the children and young people gain a better understanding of where food comes from and encourage them to further understand the food selection process. We have our own fruit, vegetable and herb growing area at our Garden Area in our playground. Children and young people will be encouraged to use their grown produce and harvest the garden produce for use in their dishes as well as them being involved in planting new vegetables and herbs regularly at the area.
