Hannerie Visser, Makers Landing’s curator says: “Kids will get an opportunity to learn how the kitchen works such as the different utensils and equipment and how to use them as well as kitchen basics such as how to crack an egg, setting the table, washing the dishes, roll out dough.”
“We would like to get kids comfortable in a working kitchen but to also teach them how different foods can be prepared. Teaching them how taste works or what it takes to plant vegetables and herbs as well as the importance of not wasting food will be a unique and fun opportunity for them,” adds Henry Matthys, V&A Waterfront’s Social Impact and Food Ecosystem Head.
The Summer workshops will start on 19 December 2022.
