Hundreds of schools – Primary, Secondary and Special Needs schools - invited chefs into the classroom to give cooking lessons, visited farms and allotments and toured local butchers, fishmongers and greengrocers as they took up the challenge to include food and cookery within their curriculum teaching during the Fortnight. Irish, Scottish and even some overseas schools participated for the first time.

A total of 66 schools in the UK are being rewarded for their efforts with class sets of Kenwood bakeware, smoothie makers, aprons and scales so that they are fully equipped to teach pupils how to cook long term. The national winner, who will also receive a top-of-the-range Kenwood chef, is… Greencroft Community School, Stanley, Co. Durham.

The British Food Fortnight ‘Cook for Life’ Challenge in 2008 will again be sponsored by Kenwood. You will be able to download details of the competition and an entry form in due course.
