Cooking fun with Kids these school holidays
School holidays are a great time to get kids into the kitchen, turning everyday ingredients into simple, fun meals.
Cooking together helps build confidence, encourages creativity and supports healthy eating.
The holiday period is a great chance to create something tasty together, help kids learn new skills, and even encourage them to try new foods – because they’re far more likely to taste it if they’ve helped make it. Kids love helping choose ingredients, mixing, tasting and creating their own meal ideas.
Did you know that Foodbank WA’s team of nutritionists has created a range of healthy, easy and delicious recipes?
Each recipe includes stepbystep photos and simple instructions to make cooking enjoyable and achievable.
Here’s some ideas to get you started using food you may already have:
- Turning cooked veggies into fried rice, omelettes or frittatas.
- Using leftover roast chicken for wraps, mini pizzas or quesadillas.
- Mixing mashed potato into quick potato cakes.
- Transforming extra cooked pasta into salads or pasta bakes.
