Free Online Cooking School Teaches Families Healthy Eating Habits

A new online cooking school is offering free sessions for families looking to learn about healthy eating. The Bergische Family Cooking School, supported by Bergische Krankenkasse, will kick off its first session on Friday, October 29, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM via Zoom. Each session is designed to be fun and educational, with a focus on teaching children how to cook nutritious meals in an engaging way. The initiative is a joint effort between the Kinder-Kochwerkstatt, the Iss dich fit und schlau association, and Bergische Krankenkasse. Families who sign up will receive a 'cooking box' containing recipes, a shopping list, and a small surprise gift to help them get started. Registration for the first event must be completed by October 26, 2021, via email.

Three more sessions will follow on November 26, 2021, December 17, 2021, and January 21, 2022, each running from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Participants can attend any of the four sessions independently, as each one stands alone. Registration for these later dates must also be done four days before the event. The goal of the cooking school is to encourage families to develop healthier eating habits in their daily lives. By making the sessions interactive and enjoyable, organisers hope to inspire both children and parents to explore cooking together.

The Bergische Family Cooking School provides a free and accessible way for families to learn about healthy cooking. With four separate sessions available, participants can choose the dates that suit them best. Registration remains open for each event, provided families sign up at least four days in advance.
