I received this message from a student at the beginning of the year.

It reminded me that our Cooking Club has never just been about cooking.

Yes, we learn to make pancakes, pasta, curries and desserts…

But something else happens in the kitchen too.

Children grow in confidence.
They try new things.
They step outside their comfort zone.
They discover that they can do things they never thought possible.

And sometimes, a cooking club becomes much more than a cooking club.

It becomes a place where a child feels welcome, capable and proud.

But I also know that there are children who would love to join, and their families simply cannot afford it.

So next term I am launching the Wooden Spoon Kids Bursary Program.

I will be opening 5 bursaries for students who are passionate about cooking and committed to attending the weekly lessons.

If you know a child who would benefit from this opportunity, applications are now open.

Link in bio.

Because every child deserves the chance to discover their confidence in the kitchen.

Bursary students will remain completely anonymous.

30-Minute Meal Series: Chorizo & Butter Beans with

30-Minute Meal Series: Chorizo & Butter Beans with Fluffy Mash

An easy 30-minute family meal with pantry ingredients and big flavour. I sarted this meal 45 minutes before the kids got home… normally it’s a 30-minute dinner, but filming slowed me down 😅

Simple pantry ingredients, big flavour, and real family comfort food. One chorizo, two tins of butter beans, onion, garlic + passata, served over creamy mash.

Serves 4
Ingredients
2 Tins Butter Beans
1 chorizo sausage, sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 x 400 g tins butter beans, drained
± 1 cup passata (add more if needed)
3 sprigs of thyme...optional
Salt and pepper
1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional, if too acidic)
Splash of water if the sauce thickens

Mash
1 kg potatoes, peeled & chopped
30 g butter
± ½ cup milk (add gradually)
Salt to taste
1 tsp baking powder

Method

1️⃣ Cook the potatoes. Boil in salted water until soft (15–20 min).
2️⃣ Chop onion and fry with garlic.Add smoked paprika. Really love the one from @capeherbandspice . Add chorizo until it releases oils. Cook until onions are soft.
3️⃣ Add passata and butter beans and a little water if it is to thick.
4️⃣ Balance the flavour. Taste & season. Add 1 tsp balsamic vinegar if too acidic. Fresh thyme is optional.
6️⃣ Make the mash. Drain potatoes, mash with butter, milk, salt & baking powder until smooth & fluffy.
7️⃣ Serve butter beans over mash. Finish with thyme or black pepper.

You see a muffin… I see science!

Last week in Cooking Club, we baked these fluffy blueberry muffins and uncovered the magic inside: tiny CO₂ bubbles created by a chemical reaction between bicarbonate of soda, yogurt, and baking powder. 🧪✨

👩‍🍳 Want to see the science (and taste the muffins) yourself? Join our Wooden Spoon Kids Cooking Club and bake your way to fun and learning!

Our students are having so much fun while learning so many new foodie things!!

I could rebound at home with free videos… but I don’t.
I pay for classes because I want structure, guidance, accountability and results.
Same reason why our cooking club membership works.
Also, shoutout to Louise from @TheSpringsStudio - Her classes are amazing💪

You can join our Cooking Club at anytime of the term.
Lot's of online content to work through once we take a break in the holidays.
