Hands-On Cooking
mindful cooking for children
Supporting children to thrive in life, and the kitchen!
- Developing mindfulness + thoughtfulness with the foods we cook, eat, and share
- Fostering creativity, kindness + self-awareness
- Teaching accessible cooking techniques to build confidence and encourage fun, healthy eating
what to expect at a session
At the Contemplative Cook's kitchen we are all about creating a place and pace that helps you to slow down and disconnect from the usual busyness of the day. There will be a hot cup of tea or latte welcoming you at your arrival, along with an artisanal spread to taste and enjoy, followed by some slow and steady cooking in the kitchen. At the end of our session, we'll package up our creation to send home with you, to share with those you love.
hands-on cooking session dates + fees
Private hands-on cooking sessions are held in the Contemplative Cook's home kitchen, and on various week days. Please inquire about date options. We book well in advance!
Private sessions are $149- $195 + HST per person depending, and run approximately 2.5 hours in length.
The fee includes preparation for your arrival, an artisanal spread prepared just for you, the cooking experience, the cost of ingredients, and the finished creation, lovingly packaged to take home with you.
