We will teach kids how to read recipes and prepare tasty, healthy dishes. We will build skills, confidence and an appetite for good food!  

Your child will cook a kid-friendly recipe in our small-group cooking stations, work with new friends, and make their very own tasty snack. This will fuel them with long-lasting energy and nutrients to keep them going for the rest of your day at the Perth Royal Show.   

nom! is Foodbank WA’s nutrition education and cooking program developed to improve the knowledge, confidence and skills of the WA community to support healthy eating.   

More than 850 kids aged between 7-14 years joined us at our stall last year with all parents who were surveyed after the event reporting that their child would like to attend another nom! session, 73% saying that their child has been more involved in cooking since attending the session at the show and a huge 80% agreeing that their child was inspired to cook after attending the nom! Kids Kitchen experience at The Royal Show. 

Testimonials from parents were very positive: ‘Both my kids started eating veggies more than before,’ ‘It was a great opportunity to try new food, and they really enjoyed following the instructions.’ And maybe best of all, ‘This is the best thing we have eaten all day’!  

There will also be a range of Superhero Foods resources available for purchase including recipe booklets to inspire kids to cook at home.   

Please note the event is suitable for children from 5-12 years old, with children aged 5 and 6 needing to be accompanied by an adult. You can sign up in-person, on the day and there are 25 spots available in each workshop.

Have fun, be inspired, and get cooking with nom! Kids at the 2025 Perth Royal Show.   

You can sign up on the day, at the stall, get in quick!
