Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
These pages are a mixture of our own resources, and those we have found from other people and organisations. Some resources here have been provided by practitioners and parents who have tried and tested them, but you will have to assess for yourself the benefits for your own children and whether it will meet the guidelines you are working with.
Some resources are created by food industries. While they are not allowed to promote intentionally inaccurate information, they will naturally wish to promote their product as the most important part of the diet. However some of the resources they provide are very good when used in context. Wherever I am aware that a resource is industry sponsored I will say so, and you can exercise your common sense in evaluating it.

It is quite fast paced but once children have got the hang of it they can get quite a few smoothies made.

The fruits are shown in both sliced and whole form. Good fast fun. To ...

Jamie Oliver's Crunchy Garlic Chicken09/06/2011 11:43:00 Jamie Oliver's Crunchy Garlic Chicken This recipe is part of Jamie Oliver's bank of recipes being provided for his US Food Revolution.

If your kids like crispy everything this is a great way to get them to enjoy the taste of cauliflower, which not everyone gets straight away. It is oven baked rather than fried, so is a healthy... Healthy Plate Of Food Game09/05/2011 12:59:00 Healthy Plate Of Food Game There are a few games around which allow you to choose foods and drag and drop them onto a plate to see what sort of meal you'd make.
