Cookery lessons back on the school menu

.............................................................

Cookery lessons are to become a compulsory part of the school curriculum for the first time after pressure from leading chefs and health campaigners.

Children as young as eight will now be taught basic cooking skills and how to make a balanced meal.
From September next year, primary school students will be given practical lessons in how to combine ingredients to produce simple, healthy food.
At secondary school, pupils will then master a number of different meals and will learn a range of cooking techniques including baking.
The proposals, made in the new draft national curriculum, have been welcomed by health experts concerned that children are growing up without basic culinary skills or food knowledge, which they say has helped to fuel the rise in childhood obesity and dietary-related diabetes.
They warn the demands of modern life have left many children living on a diet of ready meals because their parents are often too busy to cook.

I have recently learned to make an omelette , that remains the only thing I can cook , and apart from that I have never cooked anything in 50 years. I don't think cookery made much impression on me at school !!!!
 
What a coincidence.
I have just sat down after preparing everything for a Chinese spicy beef with spling onions and peppers.

An omelette eh sirdennis ? :1: I`m impressed.

What is an iron ?

Club has asked me to have a word with you, so doing as I am told, I am :15:

Well there are many types of irons Sir Dennis. The first 1 is

A/ It irons your clothes. You plug it in at the wall and vole, it heats up and you can iron your shirts. I am sure Mrs Sir Dennis will show you

Then there are:

B/ Golf clubs which have irons

C/ Then there is Iron Maiden

D/ Then there is Iron/FE symbol Electric configuration

I hope that helps Sir Dennis. Club you can take your head out of your hands now :19:
 
That's ok for girls but hopefully the lads will be able to make knuckle dusters and coshes in metalwork
