Taken at a previous class led by Ellie
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 for life. By improving accessibility and helping to shift attitudes towards food, we can begin to tackle health inequalities. Prept. works directly with schools, bringing chefs into classrooms to inspire children to develop healthy eating habits, a genuine enthusiasm for food, and an early insight into the hospitality industry, all through hands-on cooking classes.
