With obesity rates soaring, Jamie Oliver shares with i his top tips for getting the kids interested in cooking
NHS figuresThe celebrity chef who has long campaigned to end childhood obesity, is working with primary schools in Hounslow, west London, which has some of the worst obesity rates in the UK, to help teach children and their families how to cook tasty and nutritious food.
“Arming families with the knowledge to cook from scratch can only have a positive impact, empowering them both now, and in the future.” These 14 trainers will receive the free Royal Society of Public Health accredited training course including sessions on food safety and hygiene, nutrition, food waste, and three days’ hands-on instruction where they will be shown how to cook and teach a range of healthy, affordable, low-waste recipes include 50/50 bolognese, lentil and spinach soup, veggie burritos, fish and black bean tostadas, and easy chickpea curry.
Each of these eight lessons delivered by each of the 14 trainers will teach 10 different participants. This aims to create a ‘ripple effect’, that organisers hope will impact at least 1,120 people in the first year alone.
