Young Children's Experimental Cookery

Young Children's Experimental Cookery by Elizabeth Carruthers

Young Children's Experimental Cookery encourages early years practitioners to take an innovative and creative approach to introducing young children to food and cooking. The book addresses issues such as healthy eating and food preparation skills, and celebrates food as a medium for multi-sensory exploration and high quality learning.

This book is a wonderful illustration of the way in which an innovative and creative approach to food and food preparation can encourage children, parents and practitioners to share experiences, learn together and embrace healthier lifestylesIt is particularly exciting to see the children grow in confidence, explore fresh ingredients, experiment with new tastes and smells and follow their own lines of enquiry."

Sally Jaeckle, Early Years Services Manager, Bristol City Council, UK.

The book looks in considerable depth into a vital area of children’s learning, how children develop their imagination and creativity in the context of using food as a creative material. The focus on multi-sensory exploration, creative thinking and imagination has been key to the success of this approach.

"Young Children's Experimental Cookery, (...) encourages early years practitioners and teachers to take an innovative and creative approach to introducing young children to food and cooking. (...) The book also addresses wider issues, such as healthy eating and food preparation skills, but its value is in moving beyond the concept of traditional cookery lessons and instead to celebrate food as a creative medium, making this a highly stimulating read."
