Kitchen adventures
At home learning for the food-curious
Discover food with Maple
We believe it’s important to inspire children from an early age to be curious about food, to try new things and learn about the history, origin and importance of the food they eat. The kitchen is also a wonderful place for children and young people to learn new skills, whether it’s counting and weighing out ingredients, or practising harder cooking techniques.
We have developed a series of fun workbooks for children and teens, to encourage them to get curious, explore the wonderful world of food and learn more through cooking. Each booklet features two age-appropriate recipes, a food-themed task, along with suggestions for other fun and educational activities.
What are you waiting for? Your kitchen adventures awaits!
