TastEd

Sensory exploration and repeated opportunities to experience a variety of foods can help children build familiarity, confidence and a greater willingness to try new foods.

We’re delighted to hear how TastEd is supporting learners to develop positive experiences with food. #send

We've been taking TastEd to the classroom 🍎
Alongside teacher training, we've been demonstrating lessons to give teachers more support and confidence to deliver TastEd.
This work is part of @Essex_CC Nourishing Our Future project, delivered in partnership with @AngliaRuskin

Meet Dr Tim Gilson, our new Chair of Trustees 👋
As a former school leader, he has experienced firsthand how transformative food education can be for children.
Tim’s favourite way to eat a carrot? Steamed with chopped parsley, alongside a roast dinner.
Welcome to TastEd, Tim!

Teacher feedback on TastEd!
“I work with extremely vulnerable children and seeing the spark in their eyes as they use their different senses is wonderful.”
We are always inspired to hear first-hand experiences from teachers of TastEd making a difference to children's lives.

When was the last time you tried something new?
TastEd invites children to see, smell, touch, and explore a vegetable or fruit before they taste it. It builds curiosity and confidence and helps create a positive relationship with what’s on their plate.
