ABOUT

---

Hi my name is Jessica (but I'm more of a Jess!). I am a qualified and vastly experienced Food and Nutrition/Home Economics teacher. I have a first class Honors Degree (Bachelor of Science) in 'Food, Nutrition and Consumer Sciences'. I also have a Post Grad Certificate of Education.  I am from Wales, U.K and ADORE Adelaide, which is now home for me and my young family!

If you want to know more about me, my credentials, my background in the food industry and have a fun read - head over to my "Meet me" blog!

Cook n Create has been born from my love and passion for food, nutrition and cooking combined with my enthusiasm for teaching.

I LOVE working with children and helping them ignite sparks of passion and watching their cognitive development progress and their skills being built and refined whilst having a great time!  I see this as a real privilege. All sessions have been designed to ensure that EVERY child can access the learning and can thrive with Cook n Create.

Working with children and teaching them to cook, to enjoy food and to have fun with food is my passion! 

Building confidence, self esteem and creativity is SO important to us.

We ALWAYS focus on chopping skills (using the claw and bridge) and learning how to handle knives and essential kitchen tools safely. We have a large focus on health and safety and hygiene. We also teach the essential skills of handling and using kitchen equipment. We tap into developing a LOT of cognitive skills and thinking - logic, applying theory in practice and we cover analytical, critical and creative thinking skills in each and every session.

We also cover LOTS of numeracy, science, literacy, comprehension, oracy (as you can probably tell - we LOOOVE to talk here at Cook n Create!).
