 "Thank you again for a very informative session."
said a recent parent participant 

"I tried with my daughter on the weekend a Bread Sushi and it was amazing, she just love it.
She did the Bread sushi and we had fun together.... sorry about my english. We used on Bread sushi, tomato, smoked salmon, hummus, lettuce and tomato. I put in her lunch box to kinder last friday and it was a success she ate all. I'm always having problems with her at kinder, she never eats her lunch... today afternoon we'll try the wraps.
Thank you so much.... I love the recipes, I wish to have more ideas. Thanks again."

Kate's ability to make cooking both FUN and EDUCATIONAL engaged not only our young students but adult staff as well. Kate is informative, colourful and hands on and the children were active and responsive participants. Thank you Kate. I highly recommended ‘Making Food Fun’.

"Today was great fun. All the kids had a ball and my son (who HATES veggies) was 'courageous' and gave them a shot. Thankyou so much to the colourful chef and all your helpers for such a great time."
