TasteBudds is a business founded by two brothers, Joe and Matt, that run healthy cookery workshops for primary school aged children. These workshops take place during school, after school and as private functions and parties outside of school.

TasteBudds was founded in December of 2015. Childhood obesity has become such a prevalent issue in current society yet nothing significant has been put in place to enforce a reduction in this epidemic. Many schools or authorities tell children to eat a healthier, however they do not explain to children why a balanced diet is paramount at their developmental stage.

TasteBudds was created with the mission to give children confidence in the kitchen with what they are cooking and baking as well as giving them the knowledge of why the ingredients they are using are so beneficial for them in the long and short term.

Our workshops therefore consist of guiding the children through making our original recipes from scratch followed by an interactive game, activity, or quiz that teaches them the nutritional benefits of including the ingredients we used in that recipe.

The children are completely hands on with the whole making process and learn to work together in groups as well as picking up the fundamentals of kitchen health and safety.

Children get to cook a range of our original recipes from Healthy Pizza to delicious Fruit Granola Bowls to mouth-watering Lemon and Raspberry Muffins.
