Convinced that the pleasure of eating can be learned from an early age, the Uncle Ben’s\u00ae teams have decided to get involved with the “Ben’s Beginners” program to raise awareness among families of the importance of passing on culinary knowledge.<\/p>\n
30% of children can’t recognize a leek or zucchini, 50% an artichoke and 90% a beet…<\/p>\n
In our country of gastronomic culture, whose meals have been listed as a Unesco intangible heritage site since 2010, these observations deserve to be taken into consideration
\n.
\nWhile the French food model tends to hold up well, it is undergoing changes. Faced with the demands of professional life, it’s not always easy
\nto make time for good family meals, varied cooking and awakening children to the pleasures of taste from an early age. And yet, the transmission of culinary knowledge, as an integral part of the family identity, is a fundamental concern.
\nSharing meals with friends or family is a key point when it comes to a balanced diet.
\nRestoring the taste for culinary transmission, sharing by involving children in the preparation of meals, having fun while learning a skill that, in the end, will become an integral part of everyday life, is a major challenge! <\/p>\n
The mission of the “Ben’s Beginners” program
\nTo give families a renewed taste for cooking together, with simple, balanced and convivial meals… To show that sharing good food can be a great source of pleasure. In short, to create an emulation of family cooking, based on sharing and conviviality. <\/p>\n
We were able to preview the program and meet Jean Sulpice, the famous Michelin-starred chef, and had a great time.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
