Synopsis
Young Children's Experimental Cookery encourages Early Years practitioners and teachers to take an innovative and creative approach to introducing young children to food and cooking. The book addresses wider issues such as healthy eating and food preparation skills, but also moves beyond the concept of traditional cookery lessons to celebrate food as a creative medium, offering immense scope for multi-sensory exploration and a variety of high quality learning experiences. Practitioners are encouraged to abandon recipes, take a step back, and afford children the freedom to chop, mix, stir and concoct their own creations, exploring fresh ingredients and experimenting with new tastes and smells along the way. Bridging the gap between food preparation and the development of confidence, imagination and creative-thinking skills, this open-ended approach to cooking sessions will equip children with skills which go far beyond those needed in the kitchen. Featuring full-colour photographs throughout, as well as detailed case studies and practical tips for various seasons and food groups, this accessible and exciting resource is ideal for practitioners, teachers, parents and budding chefs! Every school and Early Years setting should have at least one copy in their staff room.

Newspapers & Magazines
This book is a wonderful illustration of the way in which an innovative and creative approach to food and food preparation can encourage children, parents and practitioners to share experiences, learn together and embrace healthier lifestyles. It is particularly exciting to see the children grow in confidence, explore fresh ingredients, experiment with new tastes and smells and follow their own lines of enquiry."

Sally Jaeckle, Early Years Services Manager, Bristol City Council, UK.

The book looks in considerable depth into a vital area of children's learning, how children develop their imagination and creativity in the context of using food as a creative material. The focus on multi-sensory exploration, creative thinking and imagination has been key to the success of this approach.

Penny Hay, Senior Lecturer in Arts Education, Bath Spa University, UK, and Director of Research, 5x5x5=creativity.

"Young Children's Experimental Cookery, (...) encourages early years practitioners and teachers to take an innovative and creative approach to introducing young children to food and cooking. (...) The book also addresses wider issues, such as healthy eating and food preparation skills, but its value is in moving beyond the concept of traditional cookery lessons and instead to celebrate food as a creative medium, making this a highly stimulating read."
