Food skills, recipes and diversity (European cuisines) virtual practical workshop – LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE!

 

 
An enjoyable and interactive session looking at new recipes to Food – a fact of life from Eastern European cuisines.

 

Feedback from previous workshops includes:

“I really enjoyed learning two new recipes that I otherwise wouldn’t have known, that I can implement in my Schemes of Work.”

“I found the demonstration very helpful! The facts were also great!”

“Very friendly and I leave my kitchen with added skills that I didn’t have before. The PowerPoint which ties into the learning is invaluable to have after the course is finished.”

Plant based diets – expanding pupil learning experiences

 

 
Plant-based diets are very much in the news but there is no agreed definition of what it means to have a plant-based, or plant-rich, diet.  Although people may think of plant-based diets as being vegetarian or vegan, they do not have to be plant-only. Find out more about what makes a diet plant-based and how this fits in with a modern, diverse, and inclusive food and nutrition education for children and young people.

This webinar will introduce the different factors that must be considered when discussing a healthy and sustainable diet, and the dietary shifts that are needed to achieve this.

Tackling food waste in schools

 

 
There are many reasons why food is wasted in school, but an effective way to reduce waste is to have a whole school approach. Join Dr Jason O’Rourke as he outlines the whole school approach to tackling food waste at Washingborough Academy.
