Today finds us at Horspath Primary School. Within their After School Club we are teaching the children how to put together healthy lunchboxes. They will learn to make pot noodles, fruit kebabs and loads of other nice goodies, all with no additives, preservatives, colours or sweeteners. If you are a School wanting to help your children eat more healthy food, check out our services here.
Pudding Pie Cookery School, teaching children to eat healthily.
I have recently started to study for a Diploma in Nutrition and Diets. My aim is to help people eat healthily and to understand how to do this whilst maintaining a nutritious diet. Pudding Pie Cookery School is also in the early stages of setting up a Diet Club and these qualifications will allow us to give the necessary support to our customers.

MORE Oxfordshire children are obese, according to new figures.
The Government’s child weight measurement scheme shows there has been a reduction in the number of underweight children and an increase in both overweight and obese children aged four to 11 in the county.
Every year, children in reception year, aged from four, and year six, aged from 10, are weighed and measured as part of the National Child Measurement Programme.
Their results are then calculated individually to work out their Body Mass Index (BMI), to see what their body fat percentage is. The results are analysed to see if they fall within a “healthy range” and are sent in a report to parents along with additional healthy eating and lifestyle information.
When the weight measurement scheme started in 2006, 12.2 per cent of reception pupils were classed as overweight and eight per cent were classed as obese. The figures for 2009 show the percentage of overweight four- to five-year-olds has risen to 14.6 per cent.
The number of those who are classed as obese has increased to 8.7 per cent.
This is why we feel it’s massively important that both children and parents understand what they are eating. We run regular Healthy Eating Workshops around the county or here in our Cookery School Kitchen.
Pudding Pie Cookery School, trying to change the trend.
Oxfordshire’s Love Food Hate Waste campaign continues to go from strength to strength, with over 8000 people now having pledged their support.
Since we ran our Live Cookery Demo’s there has been a huge upturn in people pledging to waste less food.

For years now we have been researching various diets and the nutritional value they give you. We have taught many people to cook and eat healthily whilst on a diet, but at the same time keeping food interesting. What we have found is, the vast majority of diets have you eating foods that are pretty bad for you, either laden with sweeteners or other preservatives or additives. What we are trying to do is, teach people to cook a healthy balanced diet and at the same time keep it fun and interesting. We are currently gaining a qualification in Nutrition and hope to be able to launch our pilot diet programme shortly …. watch this space.

We have just finished serving our last Christmas Dinner !!! No we are not going mad, we had a group of 40 people that booked for their Christmas meal, unfortunately they could not get everyone together until 28th Jan 2010. So we agreed to run the dinner for them anyway.
They had a delicious 3 meat roast (Turkey, Pork & Duck) Roast Potatoes, Carrot & Swede Mash, Yorkshire Puddings, Stuffing, Sprouts, Chipolatas and a nice gravy, all following with Christmas Pudding and Chocolate Pots.
It was a great evening and I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.
