The Flavour Adventure - A Fun Journey Through Taste will look at the basics of learning about taste and flavour and how it can be tremendous fun for our younger eaters to experience from a sensory perspective. It will introduce the differing aspects of tasting and discuss types of foods that would be exciting and appealing to try. It will align these concepts with eating healthily and having a curious palette about new foods
