## Programme

  A dish begins before cooking. What is in a product, how much do you need and how do you work carefully? Children discover the steps from recipe to result.

- 

### Recipes and labels

      The group reads what is needed and looks at ingredients and product information.

- 

### Measuring and weighing

      A teaspoon or tablespoon makes a difference. Children practise measuring quantities.

- 

### Preparing in the kitchen

      They get to work as chefs and pay attention to hygiene.

  Suitable for groups 5 to 8 (ages 8–12). A kitchen at school is required for this activity.
