Elementary
Graines de Chefs offers a five-lesson program for elementary schools classes.
Workshops
Our program is comprised of fives lessons of 90 minutes each. The lessons are divided in two parts:
-
Students learn some basic nutrition principles and participate in hands-on activities.
-
Students prepare a healthy recipe together, in class.
Our programs are designed to teach students to make healthy food choices.
All lessons can be organized in the classroom, with access to a sink to wash the dishes. As well, it is best to also have access to an oven for the last lesson, as we usually bake a healthy treat together, but alternative recipes can be used if necessary.
Our programs are aligned on the BC curriculum.
Program for Kindergarten / Grade 1
Program for Grade 2 and 3
Program for Grade 4 and 5
Program for Grade 6 and 7
Cost
The basic cost of our workshops is $11 + GST per child, per lesson, ingredients included. Please contact us for a quote specific to your class.





Thanks to the Graines de Chefs program, my students got to practice their French while having a real hands-on experience. It was great to be able to pair the students' learning with their interests while building their competencies in Career Education, ADST, Physical and Health Education, and, of course, French! Do not miss out on this amazing program!

Recipes
& ingredients
Ingredients
We use fresh, whole, unprocessed ingredients and mostly organic, local and seasonal produce in our recipes.
Some examples of recipes prepared by students in Graines de Chefs’ workshops:
Vegetarian Sushi
Energy Bites (wholesome snacks)
Seasonal Fruit Salad or Fruit Kebab
Citrus and Quinoa Winter Salad
Lemon Poppy Seeds Muffins
Healthy Granola Bars
Kid Friendly Kale Salad

Food allergies and intolerances
All our recipes are vegetarian, peanut and tree nut free.
Prior to the first lesson, we ask parents to fill out and sign a registration form to authorize their child to participate in the program and to provide information about food allergies and restrictions. This allows us to tailor recipes to each class, based on the students’ “food profile”.
This is our way of ensuring that all students can safely participate in our programs.
