Two young mums, Joanne Bowskill and Holly Boal, have had success on The Shark Tank Australia, with Dr Glen Richards jumping on board and supporting their ‘Get Kids Cooking’ primary school cooking education program.
The show recently aired an update on the exciting results the program has been getting. Joanne Bowskill and Holly Boal talk about how this culinary education makes it possible for children at primary school to experience age-appropriate, hands-on cooking lessons and learn how to prepare nutritious meals and then enjoy eating what they have made at school.
“For many Australians, cooking is a real pleasure and a genuine lifestyle interest as well as a necessary and useful capability,” says Holly.
“Once kids get into cooking, they really love it.
“Using our step-by-step program, students build on the skills they learn and discover the joys of cooking for themselves, taking these techniques beyond the classroom and into their own homes for their families to enjoy.”
Crookwell Public School has run this healthy practical cooking program, which has seen students engaged and passionate about living a healthy, active life.
Ms Kemp said: “Everything is provided – the students just loved it, it’s absolutely fantastic!”
Cook In A Box is an affordable way for primary schools to provide children with basic cookery skills enabling them to make healthy food choices for life!
