This depends on the young person's age, experience and the recipe they're making. Parents should use their own judgement about appropriate supervision, particularly when a young person is using knives, hobs or ovens. The aim is to help young people become increasingly confident and independent in the kitchen, rather than having a parent cook for them.
Students work through the course and record their progress using The KC Classroom feedback form. They also submit a photo of their completed recipe each week, allowing us to provide feedback on their cooking. At the end of the course, we provide a report and certificate of completion.
Don't let one missing ingredient stop you cooking! Where possible, our recipes include guidance and alternatives. Students can also use their own judgement to make suitable substitutions and develop their problem-solving skills. If they're unsure they can contact us for guidence.
