About Me
I have​ always enjoyed cooking​ and fondly remember spending many hours in the kitchen with my mum from as young as 3 years-old.​ Cooking was not only a form of self-expression but a time to connect with each other. I studied a Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition) at university and later completed my secondary education degree to become a Home Economics teacher. I see the importance in learning skills such as cooking and sewing from a young age. Students obtain transferable skills such as time management, team work, sequencing and math.
My vocational calling was only highlighted when I had my son, ​Henry, over 5 years ago. We coincidentally were introduced to a Montessori program​ in the United States​ and it's an approach where we haven't looked back. ​Practical life skills are emphasised in the​ daily​ curriculum​, with independence at its forefront.​​ I ​see​ how much more​ likely​ ​kids are​ to eat​ healthy and nutritious​ food​, especially​ if they ​have ​had a hand in preparing it.
The benefits of kids learning to cook are many, here are just a few:
-
Increases family bonding time
-
Encourages kids to experiment with and try a broader array of food
-
Increases healthier eating choices
-
Increases kids’ understanding of food nutrition
-
Helps kids feel more confident
-
Increases understanding of the environment and where food comes from
​My mission is to educate, inspire, and empower kids to learn to cook. Our goal is to develop core cooking skills in kids that will stay with them for life​, whilst​ creating tasty meals and having fun ​at the same time​.​ ​In an age of convenience, abundant access to low-quality processed foods​ and ​growing health issues, developing lifelong cooking skills has never been more important​!​
Thanks for cooking with us,
​Mim
