Many adults know Leyla Piedayesh as the founder of fashion brand Lala Berlin and a leading figure in the fashion world – but her passion for children and food is just as great!
Together with Leyla as a guest, Kidskultur invites you to two very special cooking events for children in April.
In a speciall kitchen at a secret location , the children will immerse themselves in the world of cooking.
They will gain exciting insights behind the scenes of a yet-to-open restaurant, work with fresh ingredients, and embark on a cultural journey to Persia. Even before the actual chef opens the kitchen!
The children will playfully explore Persian cuisine by discovering where Persia – modern-day Iran – is located and the role food plays in everyday life and celebrations. They will learn about typical ingredients and spices such as saffron, herbs, and fruits, and investigate why many dishes taste both sweet and savory. While cooking, they will learn how traditional dishes are prepared, why people take their time, and the importance of cooking together as a family.
At the same time, they sharpen their senses by consciously perceiving smells, colors, and textures – from the aroma of spices to the texture of rice or dough. They also experience the meaning of hospitality and sharing a meal.
Furthermore, the children get creative: They develop their own ideas for dishes, combine ingredients, and come up with names for their creations. In this way, cultural learning, sensory experiences, and creative thinking are playfully combined.
But don't worry, we'll also get plenty of exercise and have a good run around!
After registration, adults will receive all the other details. We look forward to seeing you!
