Little Chefs

Our cooking school, Cooking Experience, organizes at its headquarters in Lecce, in the heart of the Baroque, an ‘interesting series of courses for children titled “Little Chefs”.

The tasty appointments will take place on Saturday or Sunday, from the month of October.

The cooking workshops provide two distinct classes:
Cooks in small grass for children from 5 to 9
Small cooks grow for children aged 10 years and older

The initiative, in addition to being a time of play and aggregation, stands as also aim to raise awareness of and appreciate the food to the little chefs.

This is an activity designed as a real creative workshop where children can try their hand in the preparation of simple recipes, to get closer to the world of cooking and healthy food by putting their little “finger in the pie.” These workshops seek to promote the emotional value, educational, sharing and great fun “cooking together.” Children develop their manual skills and creativity, but above all strengthen their self-esteem: they experience food not yet known and enter into confidence with the food through the 5 senses, as indispensable tools to detect all the information coming from the body and from the outside , representing a large and valuable help to become a more complete person and aware of the relationships that bind us to the food, to the territory and health.

During the lessons, the children, under the careful guidance of the chef and an entertainer, can engage in the preparation of simple recipes, using local raw materials and products km0.
With dexterity and creativity, they will follow chef Gianna during the preparations and take home what they will cook in the kitchen.

In particular, the smaller will prepare: Salento typical pasta shapes and decorated cookies, wholesome treats for snacks, pizzas, mini birthday cakes.

For older children, the lessons include visits to the market, the preparation of recipes and dishes of Salento cuisine, with the use of pots and pans. During such meetings it shall be given, however, ample space to the local culture (anecdotes, proverbs, “pinches”), so that, even among young people understand the importance of the recovery of their roots.

The school is among those included for the selection of Junior Masterchef Italy.
Talent which took part in 2015 our little chef of Lecce Rodolfo Cazzato, with a performance worthy of a real chef.
Gianna chef is ready to welcome new talent to prepare and submit to the selections of the new editions.
