For those that don’t know me already, my name is Sayjel Patel and I am a qualified chef and dietitian. I have been running children's cookery classes for the past 10 years. The aim of my club is to encourage your child to learn about ‘good food' and to explore new flavours in an educational and fun way.

During a typical session we will cover 2-3 recipes using quality ingredients.  We informally discuss aspects of nutrition, food science, seasonality and where ingredients originate from. Each recipe will be utilising 1 or more essential cooking skills.

I have been reviewing all the previous Holiday Club Feedback. Thank you for all your positivity and support! 

I am also changing the format slightly. Summer Holiday Clubs previously ran for 3.5 hours and would be quite rushed due to the technical skills required for some of the recipes. This August the Clubs will be 4 hours but with a 20-30 minute break with a healthier homemade snack or drink which will be demonstrated in the class. I will also be stating the specific age range that the class will be geared to.

In our 3rd Holiday class we will have an Oriental twist on the dishes!  

The children will  learn to correctly season the pork filling for their Siu Mai Dim Sum. We will have available a Prawn or Vegetarian Alternative available.  They will assemble their dumplings using wonton pastry then steam in a bamboo steamer. I will also demonstate a simple Ongiri (Japanese skyle Arancini). We will prepare a simple Soy Dipping Sauce then arrange Dim Sum & Onigri in a sushi style presentation box with sauce and chopsticks to take home.

 

For the quick Mango Eton Mess, I will demonstrate how to make a quick Eton Mess from Homemade Meringue, Creme Chantilly and Mango.  We will toast coconut flakes for a crunchy topping.

In addition we will be making some Japanese inspired Matcha Shortbread. 

The children will take home their prepared dishes in food grade packaging so they can enjoy at home and share with their families. I will provide a small snack and drinking water. Please ensure your children have an adequate lunch though before attending the class.

This will be sure to challenge your child's culinary skills but will also be a lot of fun!

This class is suitable for children aged 9-15 years old.

Please note, if you would like to form your own group maybe with your child/children and their friends, please do contact me as I have a few Summer dates available in July & September for private group bookings. If there are 6 children in total, the price cost per child works out similar to the Holiday Clubs and can be tailored to your children's needs. This way you and your children can decide what to make or what they would like to learn to cook!

From September, I will be running Saturday Kitchen weekly term time classes which are 1.5hrs for 10 weeks. If interested please book via the following link:
