Create & Cook is taking a break for 2022 to allow schools to get back to normal. But we hope the good work around #localfood and #Climatechange will continue in the classroom https://t.co/J6VqC6Kd9F

'This teaching method has been shown to increase children's willingness to try fruits and vegetables', says the new @food_strategy report. It's great to see recognition at last for sensory food education (taste education), which is already a universal part of education in Finland

Well done Poppy and Tommy from Fernhill School, Farnborough for winning our @Natures_WayFood Southern final with their lovely #IsleofWight crab fritters & @newlynsfarm pork medley. Thanks @food_strategy today for urging schools to take food as seriously as Maths & English.

Huge news guys! Today the Government announced they will end junk food marketing online. Thank you to all our supporters who fought hard for this. And thank you @BorisJohnson for your commitment to remove junk food from the spotlight and set the stage globally for child health.

Closing date for our 2021 Create & Cook Competition is next Friday.  Can’t wait to see all the locally inspired menus created by keen young cooks aged 12-14 yr olds. Always a pleasure to judge menus focused on local ingredients. Who will be our 2021 Champions?

[Create & Cook Comp @createcookcomp]

Task 9 for the young cooks entering our competition is to tell us the story behind their menu. This helps the judges understand the thinking behind the ideas. Please note extended deadline, to give schools more time after Easter, Friday 14th May.

Our recycling system can't cope with all the throwaway plastic companies are churning out. It's time to do something about it.

Tell supermarkets to cut their plastic packaging now > https://t.co/2hRyKlT3lM

Task 8 of the Create & Cook Challenges is to write up your menu and recipes. We encourage young cooks to write out recipes in their own words not cut & paste. The judges would love to see young cooks think about the process and adapt recipes to suit their own style.

[Create & Cook Comp @createcookcomp]

To give schools more time to complete their entries, we are extending the deadline for entries to the 2021 Create & Cook Competition to Friday 14th May.   Please see our news page for more info https://t.co/bpxu68VNad
