Lidl Food Academy cooking up a delicious programme for 2023

The Lidl Food Academy is welcoming the new year with new culinary proposals, useful knowledge for young and old, many activities and beautiful moments, as well as valuable advice for a proper and balanced diet.

A series of compelling classes have been planned for the new year, with flavours and recipes from world cuisines and with themed classes about ingredients, cooking methods, unique occasions and special eating habits. This year’s free classes amounts to 100, offered equally to both adults and children.

Lidl Food Academy’ menu

This year, Lidl’s very successful Food Academy will offer additional classes for vegetarians and strict vegetarians, while responsible gastronomy is also at the fore, as is limiting food waste.

Festivals, dinners and special meals will once again also feature on the Lidl Food Academy programme, such as the beer and BBQ festival, culinary film nights, garden brunches and football nights. These unique experiences promise beautiful moments accompanied by your favourite Lidl products.

During 2022, over 130 events and classes were held at the Lidl Academy, seeing 4,000 people participate. With many entries for all events and classes – especially children’s cooking classes – entry draws have always been a big draw for the Academy.

For 2022, the most popular courses for adults were Asian cuisine, Italian cuisine, burgers and street-food, while vegetarian cooking classes are gaining more and more interest.

Children love good nutrition

In 2023, children at the Lidl Food Academy will have the opportunity to gain even more experiences and knowledge about good home-cooked food, with new classes and activities. One of them is the popular Lidl Little Chefs programme for parents and six- to 12-year-olds, during which little chefs cook with the special trainers in the kitchens, while parents have the opportunity to discuss everything that concerns them about food and feeding habits with members of The Cyprus Dietetic and Nutrition Association.

Another very successful programme is the Food Academy for Children, which is being held for the fifth consecutive year in collaboration with the Department of Home Economics of the Ministry of Education and aims to teach children the value of nutritious and home-cooked food. Almost all secondary schools in Cyprus have participated in the programme. For holidays and when schools are closed, the Cooking for the Whole Family programme brings children and parents to the Lidl Food Academy and teaches them that time in the kitchen can be enjoyable and productive!

The Lidl Food Academy on the go

Since 2021, the Academy’s mobile ON THE GO version has travelled to every corner of Cyprus, offering the Lidl Food Academy experience further afield. Last year, the LFA – ON THE GO, travelled to Pyrgos Tellyrias, Polis Chrysochous, Lemythou, Polemi, Agros, Psimolofou, while during the summer it spent several days in Limassol, offering a rich programme of flavours and entertainment.
