About this Item

Get Cooking in the Classroom is a practical, evidence-informed resource that helps primary schools actively improve children's diets by teaching them how to prepare simple, healthy meals from real, unprocessed ingredients.Designed to support the UK primary curriculum and the School Food Plan, this book enables teachers to deliver meaningful cooking and nutrition education that goes beyond theory. By involving children directly in preparing food from scratch, the recipes help pupils develop positive attitudes towards fruit, vegetables and whole foods, while reducing reliance on ultra-processed and packaged products.The book contains 15 carefully structured recipes that focus on fresh ingredients and balanced nutrition. Each child makes their own individual portion, increasing engagement, ownership and pride. Research shows that children are far more likely to try and enjoy fruit and vegetables when they have prepared them themselves, and these recipes are specifically designed to encourage tasting, discussion and curiosity about healthier foods.Completed dishes are intended to be taken home, helping children demonstrate new skills and influence food choices beyond the classroom. This home-sharing approach supports family conversations about healthy eating, helping to reinforce learning and encourage healthier choices at home.

About this title

Synopsis

Get Cooking in the Classroom has been designed to provide teachers with the tools they need to include cooking in the classroom. With relative ease, teachers will be able to undertake a variety of healthy and fun food activities. Many of the recipes do not even require access to an oven! The book will help teachers meet the criteria of the September 2014 National Curriculum for all primary school children to learn cookery and about healthy eating. It provides a step-by-step approach, developing skills in food handling and understanding of the part food plays in the world around us, along with a range of cross-curricular links. Each of the 15 recipes is made as an individual mixture so children make and see their own achievements. The results are designed to go home with the child to share and demonstrate their new skills to siblings, parents, relations and friends. The teacher's notes also offer suggestions of both how to increase the skill demand of the recipe and how to make it easier, meaning that you can use the recipes through the whole age range of the school. The authors are established Children's Cooking Consultants who are passionate about getting children cooking and have devised innovative, simple methods of preparing healthy dishes that develop key skills, knowledge and understanding. Their experience of cooking with young children, along with an in depth understanding of the new curriculum for cooking, means they are uniquely qualified to create the recipes in this book to help you easily deliver the curriculum and support your school as you work to comply with The School Food Plan.
