TastEd lessons use a playful, evidence-based, practical approach to food education based on the Sapere method of sensory food education. Used across Sweden, France, Japan and other countries for decades, it is also part of the EY curriculum in Finland. A growing body of research shows that sensory food education can improve children’s willingness to try fruits, vegetables and unfamiliar foods. Now, TastEd brings this sensory food education to all EY settings and Primary Schools in the UK.
How to get involved
Time:
TastEd lessons are run in blocks of 5 (one for each of the senses), preparation time for the lesson should take approximately 20-40 mins and the lessons themselves last up to 1 hour. Prior to running a TastEd lesson, there is a 30-minute training video available to watch. Additional time might be required for meeting with other members of staff to discuss how you might choose to run TastEd in your school.
