Children and teachers from the Hartlepool area will be climbing aboard a giant Cooking Bus next week for some hands-on cooking lessons.

If you’ve never seen a Cooking Bus in action before, you are in for a treat. This massive specialist-built articulated lorry opens out into a spectacular purposebuilt kitchen/classroom where qualified food teachers give pupils a taste of quality cooking.

This Cooking Bus is sponsored by the Food Standards Agency and run by the Focus on Food Campaign (the leading organization to support the teaching of cooking in schools across the UK.) Pupils will climb aboard for lessons under the expert eye of the Food Teacher Michaela Bowles, whose planned programme of cooking activities suits the age of pupils taking part and supports the school’s curriculum.

There will also be training for the teachers so that they can continue helping pupils cook with confidence long after the Bus has rolled out of the yard.
