CHILDREN can learn about healthy eating and the joys of cooking this summer, at a free children’s cookery school.
Sponsored by Milford Waterfront, and run by nutritionist Ellen Picton from Healthaspire, the sessions are open to youngsters aged between 6 and 11.
They will take place every Monday afternoon throughout the summer holidays, starting on July 24.
Fishing is an important part of Milford Haven’s culture and the town is home to Wales’ largest fishing port, so fish will be a key focus during the sessions.
Participants will learn about the benefits to their health, get hands-on making a healthy fish lunch and take home what they’ve cooked to their families.
Lucy James, marketing manager at the Port of Milford Haven, said: “Lots of children pass the fish docks on a regular basis, but not everyone makes the connection between what’s landed here and what’s on their dinner plate.
"The cookery school will educate participants on what they can cook with fish and introduce them to some tasty new dishes.”
Said Ellen: “It’s so important to teach children how to cook and understand where food comes from as it’s a vital skill that stays with you for life.
"Fish has so many health benefits and needs to form part of our diet on a weekly basis, so giving families new ideas will hopefully help with this.”
The cookery school takes place at Healthaspire, Temeraire House, between 2pm and 4.30pm. Booking is essential. For details visit milfordwaterfront.co.uk/whats-on
