“Six years ago, backed by the 271,000 parents and teachers who had signed the petition, I took my manifesto to Downing Street and asked for the government to make cooking and life skills compulsory for all kids. We need to make sure that all kids are given the opportunity to learn about food and good eating habits while they’re still young, so that they’re sorted for life.
"Together with Edexcel, I’ve put together the Home Cooking Skills Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications, which I believe could be the start of the solution. It’s an easy-to-teach course that will help your students develop the knowledge and essential skills required to cook simple, nutritious and affordable food at home.”
