Any recipes for cold food children can prepare in the classroom?

Question

I'm looking for recipes for dishes children can prepare in the classroom without using gas or elecricity. Could involve bringing non perishable food from home too.

Answer 1

I'm a food hygienist and would recommend to you that you ensure you are following food safety practises, i know this sounds crap as it's fun for kids to do. Try to stick to foods that are not high risk, i.e, high in moisture, protein and generally meat products. Children are one of the groups most at risk from food poisoning. When preparing food you should always have access to a hand washing sink, again i know this sounds crap but clean hands and children don't very often go together. You must make your children aware of the importance of good hand washing before they start. (you know what some parents are like, a slight upset stomach and you'll be for the high jump!!!)
For a good fun exercise try decorating buns or biscuits with icing or sweets etc. Sugary foods are not high risk as they are too sugary for bacteria to multiply in. As long as you make sure the children are aware of hygiene rules this should be a good lesson for you. Also it won't matter what time of day you do your lesson as the biscuits or buns will keep hygienically in boxes.

Answer 2

There is no one single Paleo Diet, as our ancestors from all over the world ate dramatically different diets depending on the climate where they lived, their landscape, accessibility to water bodies, and the latitude that they lived. This is a detailed meal plan for the paleo diet https://tr.im/dq7Wr

In some cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% plant foods and 10% animal foods, and in other cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% animal foods and 10% plant foods.

For example, our ancestors that lived near the equator had year long access to more plant materials such as root vegetables and various fruits, veggies, and nuts.

On the other hand, our ancestors that lived at higher latitudes further away from the equator only had access to fruits and vegetables seasonally at one specific time period per year, and had larger periods of the year where they ate a higher % of meats, organ meats, fish, and other animal-based foods, or fermented foods that could be stored for winter.

Answer 3

Ants on a Log (celery, peanut butter and raisins) or cold smores or no bake cookies. Trail mix of many kinds. Any kind of fruit salad.

Answer 4

Sandwiches & fruit/yoghurt snacks are about all you can do with very young kids.

You can make it more interesting by getting them talking about where the food comes from e.g. apples / trees; cheese/milk/cows; nuts/africa...that sort of thing. You could also bring a map or globe in to show them.

Answer 5

Anything, which involves salad foods, anything like that. You are limited though if you can't cook anything, even the basic biscuits you cant bake
