How YOU can take part
|
There are lots of ways that you can take part in British Food Fortnight. See the ideas below for information on how you can enjoy British food in your home and when you are shopping and eating out during the Fortnight, in particular “14 things you can do during the Fortnight” – how many of these will you be able to do this year?! Don't forget to make sure that your children's school is planning to include cookery and food-related activities in their curriculum teaching – by doing so and entering our ‘Cook for Life’ Challenge the school could win class sets of Kenwood cooking equipment. Encourage your local shop, pub and restaurant to run special tastings and promotions too.
Detailed information for producers, retailers, caterers and teachers is provided on this site – please click on the Take Part button and follow the menu.
