Week of Tastes 2009

Week of Tastes in Schools

Fifteen public and private schools in the Sydney metropolitan area participated in 2009. Over 800 grade 4 students learnt how to discern sweet, sour, salty and bitter.
Through a series of fun exercises each child gained a new and expanded food vocabulary to describe all the new foods presented to them by the visiting chefs, bakers and pastry chefs.

Week of Tastes Menus

Eighteen well known Sydney restaurants presented a special Week of Tastes Menu. Families were able to come to an early sitting featuring sophisticated food and learn about balancing of flavours. Menus also offered dishes from the chef's childhood or favourite meals the chef cooks for his/her children at home.


Taste Trail at the Sydney Children's Festival

Chef Tom Kime led groups of 8-12 year olds on a journey from farm to table. Beginning at the Eveleigh Farmers Market and armed with shopping lists, the children met with the growers before cooking a delicous lunch to be shared with their families.
