Cookery Club

Cooking promotes lifetime skills like healthy cooking and team work starting at a very young age. Youth who lack healthy cooking knowledge may rely on packaged foods or prepared foods containing questionable nutrition value. 

Food intake is influenced by family eating patterns and through interaction with peers. Early food experiences can have a significant effect on food likes and dislikes and on eating habits in later life. The Cookery club of the college meets once in a fortnight and the members together cook a healthy and delicious meal to be shared with all their friends.

It is a wonderful opportunity for the students to explore and engage with a skill they are going to use for a lifetime!! The Cookery club students are the ones who enjoy the most munching away dishes every time they meet!!

Therefore, it is important to teach students how to cook and to encourage them to develop their cooking skills. Introducing healthy cooking in college has many benefits: 

  • Cognitive Development: Cooking encourages students thinking, problem-solving and creativity.
  • They spend time cooking instead of being engaged in television and mobiles.
  • Cooking in college can build positive memories that promote future healthy and enjoyable cooking.
  • The cooking ability acquired by the students in college would be very useful to them if they happen to visit foreign countries for work or higher studies.

A key skill is the ability to take responsibility for your actions and for tasks/jobs/activities. By learning all aspects of cooking, kids will learn to take responsibility for each and every step in cooking – even cleaning up. There are many life skills required and are developed by planning, organizing, purchasing food, and preparing snacks & meals which are part of cooking. In addition, there are many learning outcomes such as: healthy eating habits, creativity, working with others, safety and responsibility.

Self-cooked food is healthier than readymade meals or convenience food. Students will come to know what goes into their body by measuring the oil, salt, sugar, and other ingredients in each recipe. Students can also select the fresh, organic, seasonal or other preferred ingredients they want to add. It doesn’t have to be too onerous.
