Cooking Bus
The Focus on Food Campaign carries out practical training aboard its mobile cooking classrooms – the Cooking Buses. The Food for Life Partnership Cooking Bus has been made available through Big Lottery funding to 180 Food for Life Partnership Flagship schools accross England. The Cooking Buses tour schools and community groups throughout the year teaching vital cooking skills alongside nutrition, healthy eating and an appreciation of good food and where it comes from.
Get on board
If you school is signed up to the Food for Life Partnership you can make the most of any 'open sessions' that may be happening at a Flagship school near you. The nature of the sessions is very relaxed and sociable to enable everyone to get to know each other, share experiences and open forums for discussion. Following an introduction, a short film is shown outlining the benefits of developing good food culture in schools and communities.
