Kids Summer Cook Club - Sushi + Mango Ice-cream Cookie Sandwiches

Welcome to my 'My Rainbow Kitchen' Summer Holiday Cookery Classes. I will be running a total of 5 Holiday classes this Summer.

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 skill.

In this Japanese Summer Special the children will  learn to make  sushi rice for their sushi.  They will prepare a variety of seasonal vegetable fillings focusing on basic knife skills. There will be salmon (raw), prawns (cooked), tuna or crab mayonaisse for the children to choose from. They will then roll their sushi using a traditional sushi mat and will have the option of making inside - out sushi rolls (Californian rolls). A simple soy dipping sauce will be prepared before arranging in their sushi presentation boxes to take home. The presentation boxes will be compete with their dipping sauce, pickled ginger and chopsticks.

For the fresh Ice-cream your children will learn about fruits and flavours typical of Japan. They will learn the fundamentals on simple Ice-cream making then bake their own White Choc Chip Cookies to sandwich their Mango Ice-cream. Finally there will be a selection of toasted nuts, coconut flakes & sprinkles to decorate their Ice-cream cookie creations. 

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 snack and water. Please ensure your children have an adequate lunch though before attending the class.

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

I have allowed an extra half hour to the usual 3.5 hours.

There is an early bird discount of £5 if booked before 3rd July (USE CODE: EARLY BIRD HOLIDAY 1).

This class is suitable for children aged 8-15 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 1.5hours for 10 weeks. If interested please book via the following link:
