COOK WITH KASPER

Social cooking club for parents & babies

What Cook with Kasper says

Cook with Kasper is here to help take the stress out of cooking and feeding your babies and children, and add some fun to your weaning and feeding journey. We offer parent and baby cooking classes, enabling you to get the fridge stocked for the coming week, whilst also providing a social experience for both you and your little one.
We also offer cooking classes for toddlers and young children, building their confidence in the kitchen, developing their skills with tools and utensils, and giving them the chance to explore a variety of fresh and seasonal ingredients.

Sessions might seem a little more expensive than some, but all of our classes are at least 90 mins (sometimes 2 hours), and all the food is included (as well as tea/coffee and cake for the grown ups). 100% of Cook with Kasper particpants who complete our feedback survey say they think we are good value for money!

About

I have worked as an Early Years teacher and Primary School Assistant Head for 15 years. In 2018 I had my first child, Kasper. We had a bit of a tricky start, but when it came to weaning, Kasper was an absolute dream. He loved everything we gave him, and as I have always loved cooking, this was a big turning point for me in feeling like I had found my feet with motherhood.

However, I quickly realised that this wasn’t the case for everyone - particularly if they weren’t confident cooks, or didn’t have the space to have their baby in the kitchen with them whilst they cooked. I had many friends who found weaning stressful, disheartening, and isolating.

This was when the seed of the idea for Cook with Kasper was born. It made total sense to me that parents ought to team up to cook, swapping recipes and ideas, and sharing the load when it comes to food planning and preparation. By making a social event out of the cooking process, even if your baby then doesn’t eat much, at least you’ve had a bit of fun before they throw all that food on the floor!

Fast forward through the Covid years, and by the time my second baby, Olin, came along, I was ready to take that seed and launch Cook with Kasper! I have spent the past two years running groups from my home in Walthamstow, for both babies and preschoolers, and the feedback I have had from parents has been incredible.
