About Us
Mess Chef Cookery Classes were founded in 2017 by Róisín Matthews. Róisín has more than 15 years experience in the food industry, mainly in creating new recipes, products and food labels for supermarkets. This has given Róisín a sharp insight into the way in which families cook and eat, as well as how cooking from scratch is in fast decline. She could also see from her own young family, the innate interest children have in helping in the kitchen from a very young age, but that cooking for and with kids can be a bewildering and stressful experience for parents! So after much research and planning, Róisín decided to pack in the day job and begin Mess Chef Children's Cookery Classes, providing fun and educational food discovery classes for children and their parents.
Children's Cookery Classes
Mess Chef provides fun and educational children's cookery classes in Ireland. With a focus on sensory techniques, our unique cookery classes help children discover new foods in a stress free environment. Teaching children about food and cookery from a young age is proven to support a healthy lifestyle throughout their lives. We hold parent and child cookery and sensory play classes for children from 18months upwards, as well as healthy eating workshops for schools and preschools. We also stock a range of products including the wonderful Kiddikutter Children's Safety Knives
