What Is Food Heroes?
Food Heroes offer a range of educational sessions and fun and interactive cookery classes.
Our education sessions are aimed to improve the health and well-being from childhood through to adulthood. We deliver evidence based, person centred dietary education and advice. These sessions can be incorporated in our cookery classes or we can also provide a tailored service to suit your needs. We are able to provide one to one or group education sessions. We work with schools, charities and can also work privately with individuals and families.
The aim of our cookery classes is quite simple, get children and adults involved in cooking. Cooking with your child has so many benefits. It encourages adventurous eaters in later life, not to mention teaching them basic life skills. It builds relationships, not just between you and your child but with the food you are preparing and the mealtime that follows. At Food Heroes we are supporting families in building a positive meal time environment, the research shows that this has positive outcomes on children’s mental and physical well-being. Many of these benefits continue to be relevant into adulthood and we are keen to support all ages in improving their relationship with food.
Food Heroes support schools and nurseries in achieving the Curriculum of Excellence for health and wellbeing, literacy and numeracy. We also encourage parental involvement as much as possible.
