Brief summary: Cook Like A Boss Online is a public engaging virtual cooking camp styled intervention evaluating an adapted theory-driven co-created intervention designed to improve perceived cooking competence.

Detailed description: Cook Like A Boss Online is a virtual cooking camp styled intervention, providing engaging virtual cooking activities for children to take part in safely from their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The online intervention is adapted from the original theory-driven, age-appropriate and co-created 'Cook Like A Boss' intervention (Dean et al., 2022), into daily cooking videos emailed to parents for children to cook along to, aiming to improve perceived cooking competence and wellbeing. Children aged 9-12 years will be recruited from across the island of Ireland (Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) to take part in the intervention. Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and the need for the intervention to run five days consecutively (i.e. over a school holiday), it is deemed unethical to have a delayed intervention control group and all children will be provided the opportunity to take part in the intervention. Study outcomes include perceived cooking competence, perceived motor competence, wellbeing and process evaluation measures and will be collected at baseline and post intervention.
