The Sticky Mitts team has developed a series of activity programmes, based around 6 different recipes. The resources also include 30 wipe clean recipe cards for each activity. The recipes have been chosen specifically to:

• cover different skills,
• to take account of food standards agency guidelines such as encouraging children to try oily fish, use fresh ingredients, eat more vegetables, and reduce salt intake,
• to take account of the limited equipment and facilities available in most primary schools.

The activity programmes contain teachers' notes to support a minimum of two hours worth of well constructed and researched activities to enable a whole class or group to:

• Learn some specific cooking skills and produce a tasty and delicious dish.
• Try out related foods, experimenting with taste and textures, identifying healthy options and alternatives.
• Learn how the ingredients are grown, processed and transported.
• Test and extend their knowledge in a fun quiz or activity.
• Find out information about useful sites where they can go to learn more.
• Take a copy of the printed recipe to cook at home.

Each Kids Kitchen chef also receives a Kids Kitchen Passport to Cooking. As each dish is tried, cooked and enjoyed, a sticker is attached to the Passport, and when the Passport is full, it is sent to Head Chef Rob who will send them a Certificate to reward their progress!
