How does the online platform work? The course is hosted on Thinkific, which is very user-friendly and straightforward to use. Here is a short video about how it works. Every week there is a nutrition video to watch, and sometimes a kitchen basics video as well. Then there is either an online quiz or a short assignment. Finally, each week there will be a recipe to prepare, and you will need to email me a few photos of your cooking process and finished product. That’s it!

My child has food allergies, will we be able to get advice about his condition? You child will learn some very useful general information about food allergies and many other topics of nutrition. However, the information provided in this course does not constitute medical advice and should not be construed as such. Always consult your GP or other medical professional if you have concerns regarding your child’s health.

What happens if we are sick or busy and miss a week? The course is designed to be done over 13 weeks, but if you get busy with schoolwork or activities, it’s fine to miss a week or two and continue when you are ready. Or if you have some extra time over the school holidays, you are welcome to work faster to get ahead!
