Hi there, I'm Maria Rix, 

I am a passionate award-winning children's baking activity leader with over 14 years of experience teaching children to cook; firstly as a parent, and then latterly as a cooking class leader.

I discovered my passion for baking with children after my second child was born. The birth of my daughter was a turning point; when I realised that returning to the corporate world was not in my future.

Instead, I found my joy and passion in baking and cooking with children.

My journey began at home, where by age 5, my son was already my little sous-chef, eagerly learning the ropes alongside me.

My expertise isn't limited to typical kitchen adventures; I have also worked extensively with neurodivergent children, including those with ASD, ADHD, SPD and ARFID.

This experience has enriched my understanding and approach, enabling me to create an inclusive, calm, and organised environment where all children can thrive and express their creativity through cooking.

I  believe every child deserves to be at home in the kitchen and provide a safe space for them to explore their world through food.

At Eat Sleep Bake Repeat, I am dedicated to providing structured and sociable cooking activities for children aged 2 to 11, while supporting parents, caregivers, and educators.

My face-to-face baking classes offer a calm and organised environment where parents can enjoy cooking with their children without worrying about the mess.

I believe every child deserves the opportunity to explore food.  I strive to create a safe welcoming space for mums who may struggle to make friends and feel isolated from other children and parents.

Join me on my mission to help your children foster a love for cooking and ensure that all children can embark on a culinary adventure.

Empowering Children Through Baking: Unleash Their Potential, One Recipe at a Time

 At Eat Sleep Bake Repeat, my mission goes beyond baking; I am dedicated to teaching children essential life skills that will shape their growth and development. 

In my classes, children not only learn how to bake delicious treats but also gain important skills such as listening, following instructions, counting, sharing, and taking turns. 

These 'soft' skills are fundamental for their development and will stay with them for life. 

I believe that learning should be fun and accessible to all, which is why I offer a wide range of recipes, from pastries to cakes, and biscuits to quiches, always mindful of catering to different tastes and dietary needs. 

In my kitchen, the mess is no longer an issue for parents. Enjoy the chaos that comes with baking with children and leave tidy up time to me. 

My years of experience (I started in 2013),  ensure that everyone can enjoy the experience in a calm and organised environment. 

Join me today and give your child the chance to explore food, develop important life skills, and have a blast in the kitchen. 

Let's empower them to become independent and confident individuals, one recipe at a time!
