About Sue
In Fun with Food we experiment, taste, smell, assemble, cut, cook and play with food. We learn about healthy eating habits, food appreciation, health benefits, food availability, we incorporate math+science+art, kitchen safety, sanitation and lots more! Fun with Food is always Vegetarian, can be Nut-free and student's dietary allergies and intolerances are taken into consideration when planning the curriculum.
Fun with Food is offered as After School Enrichment Classes, Camps, Birthday Parties, In-House Field Trips, and Demonstration Workshops.
Just a few of the topics we learn are basic knife skills, measuring skills, how science and food interact and relate, why math is important when cooking, how art and food correspond, healthy and nutritious eating habits and LOTS MORE!
