ISR Cooking Camp 2025

During the second week of our ISR Summer Break, our annual ISR Cooking Camp took place at our ISR Campus in Neuss, organized by our partner and school caterer, Broich Catering. This year again, the camp offered a wide range of hands-on culinary experiences and exciting discoveries related to food and nutrition.

Throughout the week, the children enthusiastically prepared a variety of delicious dishes – including traditional Flammkuchen, Swedish Köttbullar, as well as fresh sushi and summer rolls. The children also baked their own bread, roasted granola, and even made butter from cream. In doing so, they learned valuable cooking skills as well as developed a greater appreciation for homemade food.

In addition to the practical culinary tasks, nutrition education played an important role in this year’s camp. On Tuesday, the focus was on the topic “All About Milk”, exploring where milk comes from, what alternatives exist, and what products can be made from it.

A special highlight was Thursday’s excursion to the Frenkenhof farm in Meerbusch. There, the children learned about different grain varieties, visited a wheat field, and ground wheat grains into flour, which they then turned into homemade bread rolls. They also had the opportunity to feed and gently pet the farm’s chickens – a truly memorable experience!

To conclude the week, a Family Dinner took place on Friday. The children prepared a delicious three-course meal, created personalized menu cards and name tags, and beautifully decorated the dining tables. The parents were delighted and impressed by the creativity, effort, and culinary talent their children had shown throughout the week.

We wish to thank the entire Broich Catering Team for the professional organization and heartfelt dedication that made this year’s ISR Cooking Camp another great success. We are already looking forward to next year!
