Splat Cooking, the UK’s leading children’s cooking party company have a
created a new range of parties to incorporate cooking and science to make
food even more fun.
Splat Cooking have been running their highly successful classic Cooking
Parties and Cupcake Decorating Parties for the past decade and have taught
1,000s of children and adults to cook through their network of cookery
schools and cooking parties. With the interest in molecular gastronomy
generated through Heston Blumental and Ferran Adria of El Bulli, the Splat
Cooking team, lead by children’s food guru, Beverley Glock, have developed
a new range of cooking parties to introduce molecular gastronomy to
children. There are three new party themes all complete with mad scientist
lab coats and protective goggles.
Splatsploding Party – aimed at 5 year olds upwards. A mixture of science
and cooking and themed around dinosaurs, space, fashion or fairytales, the
children learn to cook as well as taking part in cool, food science
experiments such as making edible slime, an exploding volcano and see if the
birthday child can ‘walk on custard’.
Splattastic Party – aimed at 8 year olds upwards. Pizza, jelly and ice
cream with a molecular gastronomy twist. How do you make ice cream in 5
minutes without a freezer? Can you make jelly set in 3 minutes? How do you
make fruit flavoured caviar pearls?
Mocktails and Canapes Party - aimed at the over 12s. Non-alcoholic
cocktails with suspended caviar pearls and a jelly with liquid centre made
by reverse spherification, canapés, deconstructed chocolates and homemade
chocolates.
The parties launch in October and will be available through Splat
Cooking’s Franchise network and their team in London, Home Counties, South
West and the Midlands and rolling out with new franchises coming on board
throughout the UK.
Learning is also linked to different areas of the school curriculum –
history, geography and science – with teaching about food growing,
origins, food culture and food science and an emphasis on the use of
seasonal produce.
QUOTE “ this is a new and exciting field of cookery we don’t think it
should be kept just for adults, it engages children who are interested in
science to learn how much fun food and cooking can be” says Beverley
Glock, Creative Director for Splat Cooking.
