Welcome to Cooking Ideas. Here you will find exciting tales of our cooking adventures in schools for you to download, so that you can practise your cooking skills at home.

SFM has consulted the best chefs around to find some tasty treats for you to try. They have all been tested by a ten year old and have come out perfectly - every time!

About Cooking Ideas

Cooking Ideas was devised by School Food Matters with award-winning chef, Tom Aikens. This exciting new project is designed to promote cooking in schools, and to encourage children to have a go at preparing simple and nutritious meals.

Tom will work with one secondary and one primary school in each of the London boroughs, but with more chefs coming on board, your school could receive a Cooking Ideas session too!
