ASPIRING chefs have been taking part in a mass cooking event.
Members of the Let’s Get Cooking Club at Laurel Avenue Community Primary School, Sherburn Road Estate, Durham City, put their cooking skills to the test in the Children’s Food Trust’s Big Cookathon 2016 last week.
The youngsters made the suggested Big Cookathon cottage pie recipe.
The club, which has been operating for eight years, offers all junior-age children six cooking lessons a year, in the hope that by the time they start secondary school they will be able to cook full meals.
The Big Cookathon aims to show how easy and fun it is to cook and deliver an essential life skill. It runs until Monday (April 25). For more information, visit childrensfoodtrust.org.uk
