 Kitchen
Academy ran a live and interactive show. The show was structured
so that it was a fun packed two hours with plenty of exciting recipes,
interactive games and facts. The main premise of the show were the
recipes which can be done at home. There were tasters and recipes
available. Throughout the show there were also children up on stage
to perform different tasks including operating the Human Fruit Machine,
the Smoothie Bikes and Apple Peeling Machines and also getting involved
with the Gastronomic Experiments and Silly Senses.
 Using
organic produce the Kitchen Academy team set-up a cookery demonstration
and workshop area at the Organic Food Festival in Bristol. Visiting
children and families learnt how to cook with organic produce and
also got to make organic fruit smoothies. Back

I have been using ‘The Kitchen Academy’ regularly
since October 2006 at a number of high profile events in the
north of England, including Holker Show and Lowther Horse Driving
Trials on which the gate numbers have been 25,000 and 60,000
respectively.
The professionalism and work effort needed to undertake these
busy events is immense and the team from ‘The Kitchen
Academy’ have entertained, and more importantly educated
hundreds of children through their cooking workshops.
Kitchen Academy was proud to be part of the first ever Children’s
Food Festival. With an estimated 13,000 – 15,000 visitors
Kitchen Academy had some great sessions. We ran cookery workshops
all day long. Children who came through the workshops got to be
chefs for an hour and had a full range of interactive activities,
from coming on stage to give the chefs a hand with their demo’s
to creating their own chef hats. All the food the children made
was taken home along with recipe cards. Back

 This
has been quite an unusual project undertaken by Kitchen Academy.
Kitchen Academy chefs have been visiting sheltered accommodations
all over the country where Fareshare deliver their surplus foods
to. The Chefs’ run a two day program for clients at the accommodation
teaching them basic hygiene in the Kitchen, basic nutritional advice,
kitchen safety and basic cookery skills. Although this is not a
typical area of work for Kitchen Academy it is very rewarding. Back

 WOMAD
has always been a pleasure to work at. Kitchen Academy runs sessions
at the Taste the World Stage sponsered by Discovery Foods. Our chefs
run workshops throughout the festival for children who are keen
to learn about different foods they can cook at home using ingredients
from all around the world. In between our sessions world famous
musicians come up on stage and cook a dish from their home country.
Again we never fail to fill up the workshops. Back

Kitchen Academy has been a brilliant addition to the Taste
the World stage at WOMAD over the last two years. A fantastic
team who captivate children's imagination with their fun and
tempting ways of encouraging healthy eating, inviting them to
take part in creative cookery sessions, using ingredients and
recipes from around the world. They round off their sessions
with the 'Real Live Fruit Machine' and 'Smoothie Bicycle'
which offer truly inventive ways for children to take a hand
in creating their own delicious mixes.
 Kitchen
Academy was commissioned to manage a new festival as part of the
Brighton and Hove Food and Drink Festival. ‘The Brighton and
Hove Children’s Food Festival’ was held in the Royal
Pavilion Gardens and was a great success. It was a real opportunity
to show people what Kitchen Academy was all about. We ran the Kids
Kitchen Academy Workshops, commissioned some local chefs including
Momma Cherry. We helped organise other acts including the Utensils
Puppet Show and Art Food Faces. Kitchen Academy also provided a
Fruit Shy, Apple Peeling Machines, Gastronomic Experiments, the
Human Fruit Machine and of course the Kitchen Academy’s Famous
Smoothie Bikes. Back

the Norfolk Food Lovers Festival, The Royal Welsh Show, the Cardiff
Children’s Festival, the Tour De France in Kent, BBC Spring
