Easy, simple and clear. Does not need extra learning time so you can do it even with a busy schedule.

I think everybody should be aware and take in consideration eating aspects. Was totally happy with the course content.

this course was amazing. It has given me insight about how to develop taste buds of a kid and how to persuade a child to try new flavours.

But i am disappointed in one thing, my name is not mentioned on the certificate

This is an excellent course for both adult and child nutrition. There are so many practical skills taught as well, such as learning about how to best combine flavor and basic seasonings to keep stocked in your pantry.

Thoroughly enjoyed learning this course. Being an individual who frequents the kitchen and whips something up, this was a mind-opener and will definitely influence my choice of ingredients and recipes for the better!

Very simple to follow and nice course. My only issue was, that Doc Maya's voice is so nice, and soothing that I often had to watch myself from falling asleep. No offence meant, it is supposed to be a complement. :)

I love this course, it really helps with me being a mum who works full time to not get complacent with the fast foods that are readily available, and to go back to cooking properly and sitting down for a good meal.
