I believe that as guardians of children, we need to prepare the child for school by preparing their bodies with nutritionally rich foods. “You are what you eat,” should be kept in mind. Children who are prepared for their day with proper breakfast are better prepared to learn in the classroom. Lunch serves the same purpose. Children need a balanced meal to help them focus during the rest of their day. I am Louise, the school cook. I am a real foodie at heart with a passion for cooking authentic, healthy and healing food. Nutritious food does not need to be boring - it should be fun, exciting, and packed full of flavour, leaving you feeling nourished in mind, body and soul. I am deeply passionate about empowering schools and parents into making informed decisions with regards to what they feed their children and as parents, our children’s health is our responsibility – not the doctors, the government, or the supermarket. It is up to you to choose, explore, discover, and learn beyond it all. Living in South Africa has exposed me to a rich and exciting culture. Traveling the country, meeting and sharing food with locals in their open-hearted, casual approach has been a major influence on the ethos of my food and cooking style. I cherish food as a positive and ceremonial element of life that can put smiles on faces and bring people together, especially at the table. |
