Waitrose launch virtual cooking classes for kids over the summer holidays

Supermarket giant Waitrose is launching a new series of virtual cooking classes for kids over the summer break.

The launch comes as many parents will be wondering how to keep their brood entertained over the summer, following months in lockdown.

The Waitrose cooking classes will cost £10 per household, taking place from Tuesday to Thursday at 10am for one hour throughout the summer holidays.

Shoppers can head to experiences.johnlewis.com to book and order groceries needed for the classes over at waitrose.com.

Little ones will be able to cook-along with new recipes each week from the comfort of their own kitchen. With each session covering a range of kitchen techniques and skills, allowing kids to learn about key ingredients and understand seasonality.

Speaking about the new classes, Kirsty Scott from the Waitrose & Partners Cookery School said “We are looking forward to joining families in their own kitchens and helping to teach the next generation new skills and sharing our love of food. Our online Waitrose & Partners Cookery School courses have been incredibly popular through lockdown, so we’re thrilled to be opening these up to children as well.”

The virtual classes, the first of which will cover how to make sausage rolls - a summer picnic favourite - will be limited to eight households at a time. Waitrose explain that the small numbers are to ensure everyone gets plenty of interaction with the in-house Waitrose food experts.

A full list of ingredients and equipment will be shared upon sign up to ensure everyone has everything they need to create the recipe.
