Stir 'n' Shake Cooking Classes - For kids aged 3 - 12!

Did you know that dietary habits tract through your life? Developing a healthy relationship wih food from a young age is essential to a healthy future.

Fussy eating is a part of normal childhood development but you can help your child accept and enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods.

Stir 'n' shake classes have been developed by Kate Wengier through her experiences with her young family combined with her dietetic training and research.

Help your children to enjoy and cook healthy foods and develop a positive relationship with physical activity.While we wait for the food to cook, we do some active play.

- Learn healthy cooking techniques
- New recipe every week including dinner ideas, lunches, dips and sweets
- Gather ideas for increasing physical activity in your families daily life
- Learn strategies for coping with fussy eating
- Featuring bonus activites including gardening and craft
- Help your child become a healthy eater and try new foods
- Learn how to create a relaxed family meal time
- Take home recipes and fact sheets
- Have fun cooking, dancing and picking fresh herbs
- See what's grown in the veggie garden (and help at planting time)
- Collect an egg from the chickens

All recipes have been trialed on Kate's (Food Forethought's founder and dietitian) family including Kate's 4 year old son Elijah, 19 month old Oliver and 30 year old husband David.
