Our story

""Get The Kids In The Kitchen" is a cooking initiative crafted to introduce children to the joys of food and cooking in a delightful, nutritious manner while imparting a crucial life skill. 

I'm Emma, a creative soul with a diverse background spanning cooking, performing arts, and childcare. Food has always been my passion, shaping my life since childhood. Whether in the kitchen or as a chef, the endless possibilities of culinary exploration never fail to captivate me. 

During the 2021 lockdown, my two sons and I found solace and joy in the kitchen, creating dishes and reveling in the magic of food. Inspired by this experience, I offered a free cooking class via Zoom, "Get the Kids in the Kitchen," expecting a handful of participants. To my astonishment, over 100 eager faces joined, armed with ingredients, for our inaugural session. 

What began as a one-time event evolved into a six-week journey of skill-building and confidence-boosting through cooking, all within a tight £10 budget. Since then, I've extended my reach to schools and youth clubs, sharing this essential life skill with children on their unique paths. 

After all, it's never too early to install the basics of food appreciation and culinary exploration in our youngsters. 

Join me as we embark on this culinary adventure together and "Get The Kids In The Kitchen."

Chef Emma

Hi i'm Chef Morris, Myself and Chef Emma initially met while working together as chefs. We discovered a shared passion for the culinary arts and the drive to provide service to the young generation to help prepare them for their future.

Inspired by our shared values and goals, I decided to join Chef Emma on the journey to obtain GTKITK. This certification has been a significant milestone for us, representing our commitment to excellence in culinary education and our dedication to promoting healthy eating habits among children.

Our journey thus far has been incredibly rewarding, and we are excited to continue our work in this field. We believe that by instilling a love for cooking and healthy eating in children, we can make a positive impact on their lives and the community as a whole.

As someone who has personally experienced the intricacies of the care system, it is a privilege for me to provide guidance and share insights that may be lacking in many households.

Chef Morris.
