🧑‍🍳 Since Christmas, we’ve had the pleasure of working with 10 fantastic families from Bodriggy Academy, delivering a series of Jamie's Ministry of Food UK cooking sessions...and what a delicious journey it’s been!

Over 4 week blocks the families have:
✅ Learned new cooking skills
✅ Discovered fresh, budget friendly recipes
✅ Tried lots of new foods together
✅ Boosted their confidence in the kitchen

Here's just a taste of what was on the menu:
🍕 One-pan Pizza
🍅 Tomato and Basil Soup
🐟 Salmon Fish Cakes
🫘 Chilli

Every recipe was a MASSIVE hit! Not only were they simple and affordable, but they were also packed with plenty of 5‑a‑day goodness, proving that healthy eating can be tasty, fun, and family‑friendly.

It’s been amazing to see families cooking, laughing, and learning side by side. Well done to everyone involved! 👏
