A better Medway

Family cookery classes

Cooking with your family is a great way to:

  • spend time together
  • try new ingredients
  • learn useful skills.

To get you started we have a range of free cookery courses you can join in with.

Little Chefs is aimed at families and children aged 2-and-a-half to 4 while Family Cookery welcomes school aged children.  

Little Chefs

Little Chefs is a fun filled 6 week cookery group for families with children aged 2-and-a-half to 4.

Gain confidence in your cooking skills and learn how to involve your little one in preparing food.

Children will find out where food comes from, how it grows and why we need to eat a variety of foods to stay healthy.

Each week we'll explore themes like 'eat a rainbow' and 'plants give us food' through cookery, craft activities or a story time.
