Our K – 6 students thoroughly enjoyed their cooking experiences with your Cook In A Box modules. The step by step instructional videos, lesson plans and recipes were easy to follow and the ingredients were varied and plentiful. The Moroccan Cous Cous and Corn Fritters were a favourite amongst our students! Our parents appreciated the take home recipe cards too. Thank you for providing an affordable service that allowed us to successfully teach hands on cooking skills in a primary school setting.
