Italian Cooking Courses as an Extracurricular Activity

BimBi Italiani’s Italian Cooking Course compromise of either stand-alone workshops or weekly 1-hour cooking classes. The courses are designed to teach children how to cook Italian food, while exposing them to Italian traditional and regional cuisines, recipes and ingredients.

The course is a wonderful mix of culture and traditions blended into life-long cooking skills. The course has been designed and implemented by BimBi Italiani together with various Italian Chefs including Chef Antonio Maurizio Boffa from Bianco & Nero and Chef Jui Kanokwan, who recently won a bronze medal in the Pasta Challenge Category at the Professional Chef Thailand Ultimate Chef Challenge 2023. from Taste Lab

BIMBI ITALIANI is launching three Italian Cooking Courses that are to be delivered as an extracurricular activity at Bangkok Prep International School and at Bangkok Patana Internation School. The courses run throughout the first semester of the academic year and target a total of 45 students aged 6 to 12 years old.

WHAT WE NEED

The ITALIAN COOKING COURSES are fully funded thanks to the contribution of the students enrolled in the course. While this enables BIMBI ITALIANI to guarantee a skilled, professional Italian chef to teach the course, the funds are not enough to cover quality ingredients, materials and equipment and ensure the program is sustainable.

BimBi Italiani needs25,000 THB in cash and/or in kind to sustain the Italian Cooking Courses courses taking place in Bangkok Prep International School and in Bangkok Patana International School between September - December, 2024. The funds will help ensure children have access to quality ingredients and cooking materials and equipment through a course that is well-managed, sustainable, and located in a child-friendly environment.
