Pearmain Cooking Experience

‘Can you maintain good health eating a vegetarian or vegan diet?‘

This was our learning enquiry in a recent design and technology based learning journey on cooking. In this experience, children worked hard to to hold a food fair for parents that featured vegan versions of the children’s favourite meals. Alongside this, the children wrote a food review, reviewing a vegan ready meal from a well-known supermarket!

Once our meals were prepared (which involved researching and selecting the correct ingredients, chopping, dicing and slicing them and cooking using a variety of methods such as boiling, roasting and frying), parents and carers were invited to try the food and discuss the learning with the children.
