 Win Kenwood cooking equipment for your school! The 110 most creatively health conscious schools taking part in British Food Fortnight this year will win class sets of Kenwood cooking equipment, joining the 135 schools that have been kitted out as a result of the event so far.
This year’s challenge is to use British seasonal food to design and cook a meal that contains a healthy balance of the food groups the body needs (carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre, minerals, vitamins) and contains at least two portions that count towards our 5 A DAY. 'Top tips' to inspire you can be found in the 'Putting the Ooo back into food' Resource packs above. See, in particular, the examples of how the winning schools took part last year when the challenge was to design and cook a meal using the minimum number of food miles.

This means that British Food Fortnight has already over-taken France’s long-running Semaine du Gout that sends chefs into French schools every October to teach children about the delights of their national cuisine. |
