Sydney Royal Easter Show 2015 – Jenny Hughes, Co-Ordinator RAS
“Joanne and Holly of Get Kids Cooking worked at the Sydney Royal Easter Show for the past 4 years. This activation is housed in the Food Farm and just under 3000 children (6-12 year olds) participate in 20 minute sessions over the duration of the Show.
I have nothing but praise for the high level of professionalism and expertise demonstrated throughout the planning, set up/down, delivery and debrief process.
Their sessions were jam packed with information and the food the children made was simply amazing. The menu and prep-work was at an appropriate level for the children to be able to recreate back at home, helping them to be more conscious of choosing healthy food options and helping in the kitchen.
Both Holly and Joanne were very knowledgeable and approachable and they showed children respect during every session. They also work closely with any sponsors of this activation.
Part of their brief was to order and take delivery of all produce and tasting products which was seamless and provide adequate staffing to have the activation run smoothly. Their staff were of extremely high standard and they always had a smile on their face.
I have no hesitation in recommending them and know that they will work their magic wherever they go.”
