LITTLE CHEFS

Fairmont The Palm wants children to start honing their culinary skills early. Their Little Chefs – Big Ideas! cooking classes invite children aged between ten and 14 along to an after-school programme teaching them the basics of cooking. They’ll learn about nutrition, international cuisine, and will also be allowed to have some messy fun in the kitchen with new pals. Each week will feature new dishes and new cuisines, led by a range executive chefs. And yes, kids, you get to eat your masterpiece – and more importantly, lick the spoon.
