Hundreds of budding chefs have been cooking something hot but wholesome as part of a national challenge to get the nation eating healthily.
Nearly 400 pupils and teachers from Whitefield School in Claremont Road, Hendon, came up with their take on the evergreen vegetable curry as part of this year’s Let’s Get Cooking BIG Cookathon.
Adele James, director of learning for design and technology at the school, said “We are determined to help Let’s Get Cooking notch up its biggest total yet and to get even more people cooking in the London Borough of Barnet.”
Led by the Children’s Food Trust, Let’s Get Cooking provides training and resources to help set up healthy cooking programmes for people of all ages.
