Hey kids! Join us as we take a slightly different look at the things we eat.

Food is not just about taste. We can smell it, touch it, feel it, and hear it. You may be surprised that something you had for dinner looked very different before it landed on your plate.

Ever tried a piece of raw potato? Yuck!

Do you know a pumpkin seed from a lentil? A carrot from a parsnip? What are legumes? What sounds are associated with food? Do you have a good nose? (That means can you sniff out what is in a bottle without seeing it.)

Our multicultural city has brought us many new tastes and culinary delights, so let's take the opportunity to try something new.

Visit Great Grandma's kitchen and see if you can work out what the weird and wonderful gadgets are used for. We hope to tickle your tastebuds, see you there!
