Cookery Classes to be made compulsory

[PoppyAnna]

I had the exact problem Libby had with being told the night before, rushing out to find the ingrediants. weighing up etc. and how she had to carry an extremely heavy tin home on her walk home.

We were all pleased that food tech is over.

How sad I find these comments - I'm not blaming you it does sound a pain.
Food is such an important part of our life (it gives us life!) I loved home economics (as it was called back then). How are we going to educate our young about nutrition and healthy eating if the schools make it difficult to learn? I don't think badly of people that can't cook, not everybody is interested but we all know we are at the begining of a nutrition crisis in this country where people are relying on processed food to feed themselves and their families, surely learning to cook a handful of dishes from scratch will help.

I think it is an excellent idea. I'm a firm believer that we should be able to cook a basic but healthy meal as opposed to opening a packet and throwing it in the microwave.

The downside is that my friend took O' Level (remember them) Cookery and the only thing he make as a result is toffee - not very healthy!!
