Testimonials
Testimonial from a Primary School Teacher: "Our school partnered with Ilja's cookery classes for a term, and it has been one of the most enriching experiences for our students. The classes not only taught them how to cook nutritious meals but also integrated math, science, and reading skills into each lesson. The students were always excited for their cooking day, and they've taken their new skills home. We highly recommend these classes for any school looking to enhance their curriculum in a unique and engaging way!"

The program was perfectly tailored to our students' ages and educational needs, providing them with hands-on experience and a greater appreciation for healthy eating. The joy and pride they felt in sharing their culinary creations were palpable. We've seen improvements in their teamwork and problem-solving skills too. This is a program we are eager to continue in the future!"
