Kids in the Kitchen

Last week we ran our first children's cookery class. The idea was simple - give the kids a couple of hours of cooking time & their mums a couple of hours of me time.

I persuaded Ursula Ferrigno to run the class, I was on hand to run around clearing up & provide drinks, the room was set for the first task - making pasta. All we needed was the kids.


10 of them duly turned up at around 10 to 1, aprons were issued & mums told to come back around 3. Then we were off. Making pasta, kneading the dough, making pizza, kneading the dough, making a mess, chopping tomatoes, making a mess, rolling out the pasta - the time flew by. So fast in fact, we ran out of time & were still waiting for a couple of pizzas to come out of the oven when the mums returned. And my word, what a mess!

But, everyone had a great time. The kids really impressed me with their attitude & aptitude. All of them turned out some great food & I have heard from a few mums that the kids haven't stopped cooking since the class.










Now that's what I'm talking about!
