Why affordable food lessons for all?

The cost of living is an ever-growing problem and looks likely to continue. Pressure is being felt across the nation with high levels of inflation and increasing food and energy costs, resulting in a squeeze on household income and expenditure.

This affects our subject, especially where parents/carers are asked to provide ingredients or make a 'donation' towards the food - budgets will now be extremely tight. However, it is also a pressure on schools who supply ingredients as budgets will be stretched further for greater value - while maintaining education integrity and rigour.

Therefore, understanding the true cost of the recipes used at school to teach key food skills and related knowledge is of the upmost importance. From individual recipes through to Schemes of Work, true costs need to be calculated for you, the parents and pupils.

The cost of our subject is in the spotlight - however, it is an opportunity to demonstrate how healthy, tasty dishes can be prepared and cooked, being mindful of cost - key skills for life.
