The Growing Market for Children’s Cookery Franchises

Since the explosion of television cookery shows the nation’s appetite (pun intended) for learning to cook has never been greater. In particular, programmes like Junior MasterChef and Junior Bake Off are inspiring the younger generation to get busy in the kitchen. There’s never been a better time to start your own children’s cookery school.

With school resources squeezed more than ever before, there’s less opportunity for cooking classes within the school day other than taking Food Technology GCSE. With this comes a greater opportunity for children’s cookery clubs and holiday camps – giving children the chance to learn skills that they can take forward for the rest of their lives.

There is an ever-growing interest in our diet – from knowing where our food comes from to understanding specialist dietary requirements. Parents are eager for their children to develop healthy eating habits at a young age and often need all the help they can get on their mission to do so. The more children learn about cookery, the greater chance that they will approach their own diet with a considered approach. For instance, if they can cook a healthy pizza at home themselves, they are less likely to crave fast food or a takeaway.
