Cooking fun for kids

These school holidays, kids of all ages can get creative in the kitchen using delicious and healthy ingredients at Dandenong Market.

The school break is a great time to ground our busy lives and reconnect with family and friends. But in the brisk winter months, it can be easy to run out of ideas to keep the little ones off the iPad.

To make your life easier and lunch-time tastier, the Market is offering more than 200 recipes to try with your tiny chefs over the next two weeks.

Studies show that kids who help out in the kitchen are more likely to enjoy fruits and veggies.

So, whip up some sweet blueberry pancakes, keep it simple with a fresh snack plate or get the kids involved with healthy dinner prep to increase their chances of enjoying something nutritious.

The key to a healthy, hands-on school holiday activity is fresh produce which is available in abundance every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Dandenong Market.

Visit dandenongmarket.com.au to browse hundreds of recipes, create your shopping list and save before setting up the ultimate at-home Masterchef competition.
