A school in Kent is publishing its own recipe book with cooking ideas from pupils and their families. The Friends' Association of St Alphege Infant School, in Whitstable, has been working on the project for two years.
As well as the children's own recipes, the book features contributions from the likes of Delia Smith, Cherie Blair and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
On Monday the schoolchildren will make a tortilla margherita pizza from a recipe provided by a local coffee shop.
Around 70 of them will be able to taste their own cooking after making the pizza with the chef who donated the idea.
'Cooking basics'
The aim is for the children to use the recipe book to cook basic meals at home with their parents, like sausages and mash or roast dinners.
Christina Manson, from the school's friends' association, said it was about moving away from processed food and ready meals.
"What we wanted to do was encourage children to go back to the basics of cooking, to take basic ingredients and get used to seeing what goes into making the final product.
"Rather than when they see a biscuit, they see a biscuit, we're hoping that they will see how much sugar goes in."
