Children's Food Festival 2009

The Children's Food Festival, organised by the Northmoor Trust, is fronted by Patrons Raymond Blanc and Sophie Grigson, who will be giving hands-on demos, inviting children to help them chop, stir, smell and taste. The line-up also includes Annabel Karmel, Jane Fearnley Whittingstall (author of The Good Granny Cookbook), Sam Stern (the Teenage Chef) and Nora Sands (Jamie’s School Dinner Lady). Children’s cookery writer Amanda Grant will be running the Kids’ Kitchen.

Children of all ages are invited to become adventurers in the world of real food and they will be able to get their hands into plenty of ingredients from pizza to pesto and sushi to sausages. Children who already love food and cooking can show off their skills to their peers and explore their passion further. Highlights include: open fire cookery, bicycle-powered smoothie-making, the observation beehive and the Smell and Taste Experience with the Academy of Culinary Arts.

The idea for a food festival for children came to Eka Morgan, the Festival's Director, in 2005. "Parents say that one of the best ways to encourage children to eat good food is to get them to cook it themselves. I thought that a festival which conveyed positive messages about food, with plenty of colour, humour and hands-on cooking, could go some way to transform young people’s approach to eating."

The Northmoor Trust's yardstick for the success of the Festival is if children are clamouring to help in the kitchen when they get home. Happily, feedback from the first Festival in 2007 showed that this did happen in many cases. So, the Northmoor Trust are doing it all again, in order to inspire more children and families to relish food.
