The recipe for a healthier community is to change the way we eat. Poppy Innovations aims to build healthy communities by empowering and supporting healthy kids and healthy families. To that end, Poppy Innovations offers fun, hands-on cooking classes for all ages to help kids and families learn the skills to establish healthy eating habits for life. Getting your kids involved young helps them learn to make healthy choices, develop fundamental food preparation skills and gain confidence in the kitchen.
Poppy Innovations’ courses and classes are designed to make eating well a family affair. The Cook With Your Kids classes are geared for children starting age 6 and up, together with their parent or other adult (this is a great activity to enjoy with grandparents!). For children aged 9+ and their grownups, the six week Parent & Child Culinary Program provides skills while giving the family lots of extra time spent together. Gate to Plate classes are for adults and teens 15+.
New this term! The One Meal One Family class will help families restore mealtime as a time to connect with each other. According to a study from the Public Health Agency of Canada, families that eat together have healthier eating habits, but busy schedules and varying food preferences can hinder the family meal time. In this 4 week program, learn to prepare recipes that can be accommodated for babies, toddlers, fussy eaters of all ages and people with various food restrictions. The focus is to prepare one meal for your family and regain your time and energy to spend around the table with your family.
