Smaaklessen and the Netherlands Nutrition Centre want to make things easy for you as a teacher, so they have created 10 handy cooking videos. Chef Maryam shows step by step how you and your pupils can make a festive treat or a tasty lunch dish.
The videos were developed for grades 3 and 4, but can be used by all enthusiastic teachers. Under each video you will find the ingredients and equipment needed for the recipe.

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
