The past few months have been amazing, our whole Teach Children to Cook strategy is gaining so much momentum as parents and educators alike discover the merits in what we are doing. In a nutshell our strategy has morphed from teaching children to cook into getting kids food savvy, hence our new logo and name Food Savvy Kids.

Whilst cooking remains very much at the core of what we are doing, we are now including the bigger picture  - issues such as making good food choices, reading labels, shopping tips etc . Many of these are still communicated via cooking but we really wanted to acknowledge our ‘bigger picture look at things’.

Our new book life love food kids (details in the BOOKS tab above) has really galvanized our intent to treat food as very much part of family life  - we can’t look at it in isolation. I am so excited about life love food kids and can’t wait to share it with you  - it is certainly a very different look at a very big issue that most parents face. A quick glance at our health statistics will show you just how much the old food/nutrition approach isn’t working!!

The plan below shares our vision, objectives and activities of this strategy.

Claire’s site www.ItsMyTurnToCookTonight.com remains the same. It is nutrition education strategy cleverly disguised as cooking site for kids – her cookbooks are also nutrition education strategies – just so disguised that kids wont suspect that they are anything other than a cookbook of good tasting food. (details in the BOOKS tab above) To gain kid acceptance words like healthy and nutrition aren’t used very often at all!
