Our focus is on nutritious healthy menus for kids that they will enjoy.

Both obesity and poor nutrition have become prevalent among children and teenagers with body weight now the most prevalent childhood disease in Europe.

While currently there are no agreed criteria or standards for assessing Irish children for obesity, some studies are indicating that the number of children who are significantly overweight has trebled over the past decade and could be rising at a rate of over 10,000 per year.

Extrapolating data from the UK, it is estimated that there are more than 300,000 overweight and obese children in Ireland and a national survey has revealed that between 4% and 11% of four to sixteen year olds are obese.

Kids in the Kitchen courses have been designed specifically to confront these issues and to broaden the appeal of cookery and healthy eating to children.
