Cook for Life Challenge - is your child's school taking part?

British Food Fortnight’s "Cook for Life" Challenge, sponsored by Kenwood, is looking for schools that incorporate cookery in their curriculum activities in imaginative and innovative ways.

Prizes will be awarded to the best six schools in each region and include class sets of aprons, a bakeware selection, digital scales, spatulas and smoothie makers.

Alexia Robinson, organiser of the event, says: “One of the reasons that the number of children eating school meals has fallen since the government introduced healthier food is that it has not been accompanied by lessons in food and nutrition. Imagine if Jamie Oliver could visit every school in the country to get children excited about food - well 9,000 Jamies are on offer to help schools during British Food Fortnight!”

Schools wanting to recruit their own Jamie Oliver – and to win Kenwood cooking equipment - should go to www.britishfoodfortnight.co.uk.

Contact details of chef and catering organisations committed to working with schools during British Food Fortnight can be found in the Teacher Zone section of the site

For parents there's a great selection of recipes on the site and tips on how to incorporate more British food into our menus.
