Kids Cooking.
The Government has decided to make cookery lessons compulsory for teenagers. Not a bad idea if they go back to basics and avoid trying to follow the fancy plans of umpteen TV chefs.
Boiled egg and omelettes, a good spaghetti bolognese or shepherd’s pie with plenty of veg chopped up with the mince, soups and how to roast a (free range) chicken, would be a start. I hope plans to provide ingredients for those who cannot afford them will ensure that these are good quality, locally produced and free range and not the cheapest, old, vitamin dead produce.
Maybe gardening classes will also become compulsory so that schools can grow their own vegetables.
I’ve tasted my share of grey fairy cakes and gritty buns baked by the children in nursery and primary schools so it will be interesting to see how teen offerings turn out. If media coverage of teenagers is anything to go by everything will be highly alcoholic or laced with cannabis.
