Little Chefs – Great Taste
Yesterday, the 18th of January, the Danish Cultural Institute offered a taste teaching workshop, “Little Chefs – Great Taste”, for children at the Rigas Doma kora skola.
Laura Vana, Estonian graduate with a MSc in Food Innovation and Health from University of Copenhagen conducted a very interesting and instructive workshop for a group of 16 pupils. The children explored their senses through sensory exercises including discovering the basic tastes, blindfolded tasting of different food products and a test to show the impact of the visual on the sense of taste.
At the end of the day, Laura Vana organized a simple cooking class for the children in order to show how simple and easy it is to prepare a healthy, savory and, last but not least, tasty meal.
The workshop was organized by the Danish Cultural Institute in collaboration with Janis Jenzis, owner of Garaga and manager of the canteen at Rigas Doma kora skola.
