Get Cooking in the Classroom is a practical, evidence-informed resource that helps primary schools actively improve children's diets by teaching them how to prepare simple, healthy meals from real, unprocessed ingredients. Designed to support the UK primary curriculum and the School Food Plan, this book enables teachers to deliver meaningful cooking and nutrition education that goes beyond theory. By involving children directly in preparing food from scratch, the recipes help pupils develop positive attitudes towards fruit, vegetables and whole foods, while reducing reliance on ultra-processed and packaged products. The book contains 15 carefully structured recipes that focus on fresh ingredients and balanced nutrition. Each child makes their own individual portion, increasing engagement, ownership and pride. Research shows that children are far more likely to try and enjoy fruit and vegetables when they have prepared them themselves, and these recipes are specifically designed to encourage tasting, discussion and curiosity about healthier foods. Completed dishes are intended to be taken home, helping children demonstrate new skills and influence food choices beyond the classroom. This home-sharing approach supports family conversations about healthy eating, helping to reinforce learning and encourage healthier choices at home.
