Designed to Support Teachers in the Classroom


Our programmes have being developed from our extensive experience in working in classrooms and schools all over the country since 2013 and give real life practical applications to many parts of the primary school curriculum, including maths, science and SPHE.

  • They allow teachers deliver meaningful cookery lessons in the classroom. 
  • They provide resources that take the stress out of preparing and delivering each lesson. 
  • Lessons have been developed using a stepped approach that repeats and builds on skills.
  • They are suitable for all ages.
  • Lessons help develop fine motor skills and dexterity.
  • Levels are organised depending on the cookery kit available. 

It is not necessary to have a full kitchen available in the school, we recommend a cookery kit that is practical, adaptable, effective and economical.


The programmes include:

  • Annual Plans
  • 3 Levels, 27 recipes
  • Interactive resources to manage the lessons
  • Discussion Forum
  • Online and in-person training and support available

(There is also a corresponding on-line programme available for parents so children can repeat and practice the recipes at home).
