The programme includes key stage 3 resources such as lesson plans, recipes and videos to help teach secondary pupils to cook meals from scratch. The initiative aims to provide children with cooking skills to make them less reliant on convenience foods.

Oliver commented: “I believe knowing how to cook is a key life skill every bit as important as learning how to read or write. So I wanted to create a fun, engaging, informative resource pack that teachers could easily use, which covers key curriculum points. My goal is that together we can raise the profile of good food and food education in schools.”

Sarah Paddison, teacher at Great Academy Ashton in Manchester, added: “I saw working with Jamie’s Ministry of Food as a massive opportunity to put food education on the map in my school. Being part of the pilot and sharing with the students that Jamie Oliver has planned their cooks makes the students keen to get cracking on the recipes.”
