Most of us would agree that it’s vital to equip future generations with the skills and knowledge to make healthy food choices.
Eating patterns that begin in childhood affect health and well-being throughout life, so early education is an important step in starting children with a positive relationship with food, and this begins with cooking classes in primary schools.

Research shows that hands-on learning promotes success in science, numeracy, and literacy, and develops collaboration and critical thinking skills.
"For many Australians, cooking is a real pleasure and a genuine lifestyle interest as well as a necessary and useful life skill", says The Kitchen Kart Founder, Joanne Bowskill.
"Once kids get into cooking, they really love it. It’s wonderful seeing how being involved in the preparation of a meal can stimulate a child’s appetite to try new things”.
"As well as being fun, fostering a love of cooking in young kids can lead to many social and health benefits, including increasing their attention levels at school and teaching them the nutritional value of fresh fruit and vegetables. Being involved in the preparation of a meal is a great way for kids to express themselves, and over time gain confidence so they can start to develop healthy eating habits that they carry with them throughout life", she said.
