Calling all young chefs! Join us for a fun, hands-on kids’ cooking session with Ellie from Prept. Foundation. this half term!
Together, children will whip up chocolatey Cheesecakes that are as gut-happy as they are delicious. Learn how to create treats packed with antioxidants, fibre, and yummy goodness. Add edible flower decorations to make your cheesecakes extra yummy! Ready to eat by the end of the session or if you’re able to resist, you can take it home.
The class is suitable for children of primary school age, from beginners to more advanced young chefs. Through engaging, skill-building activities, we hope to make cooking an exciting adventure that brings families together.
Our very own Chef Jean Delport from Restaurant Interlude works closely with the Prept. Foundation, collaborating and hosting unique dining experiences to raise funds in aid of food education in Sussex for the next generation, and to help the local hospitality industry.

Prept. Foundation
Getting children engaged with food at an early age helps them make better food choices. By improving accessibility and changing a generation’s attitude to food we can begin to combat health inequalities. Prept. work with Adopt a School Trust, an established charity that brings chefs into schools to help children develop healthy eating habits, an enthusiasm and interest in food, and an insight into the hospitality industry, all from a cooking class.
Adopt a School Trust | Royal Academy of Culinary Arts
Founded in 1990, the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts’ Adopt a School Trust, is a national charity delivering holistic food education in schools. Currently their programme reaches over 17,000 children every year. Teaching crucial practical cookery skills and helping children to understand the link between food, health and the environment. Children learn about food provenance and growth, food preparation and hygiene, sustainable and healthy eating, nutrition and the importance of eating together. And for many, the Adopt a School sessions provide a first insight into the many varied career options offered by the hospitality industry.
