We had great fun learning about sauces, food hygiene and safety as well as many other areas, the course will last over 3 months which by the end will give them all the practical and the course work they will need to get their award.

We’ve known for a while that broccoli has good anti-cancer properties. Now we know why. Scientists at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich have found that the magic chemical called sulforaphane counteracts a genetic fault that’s involved in prostate cancer.
The experiments, on human prostate tissue, found that this chemical dampened down activity in the cells that lacked the PTEN gene, reducing risk of cancer. Whilst this isn’t as good as research done directly on people, it’s a promising start.
What’s it good for?
Broccoli helps protect against prostate cancer, lung, colon, breast and ovarian cancer. A study also showed that people who eat the most cruciferous vegetables (such as cabbage and broccoli) have nearly a third lower risk of bladder cancer compared to those who eat the least.
Eye Health, Broccoli contains lutein, helping to counteract cataracts and eye degeneration. Broccoli is also high in disease fighting vitamins A and C, plus fibre and folate (vital to prevent birth defects). It also has iron, zinc, bone-strengthening calcium and magnesium.
5 ways with broccoli
- Add to stir-fries, with garlic ginger, honey, soy sauce, fresh coriander and lime. Cook in sunflower oil to best retain the nutrients.
- Cut it up small and add it to pizzas.
- Lightly steam and serve it with cheese sauce and a jacket potato.
- Add to omelette’s.
- Cook with pasta, olive oil and pine nuts (our kids used to think they were cool eating it because they were trees)
So broccoli may look like just a vegetable, but it is in fact one of the most healthy ones you can eat, bearing in mind it’s cheap to buy and easy to cook, are you eating enough?

Self-service tills have topped a list of things consumers find most irritating about doing their weekly food shop.
According to new research 73% of consumers find automated tills the most infuriating part of shopping for food.
Whilst the self-scanning machines have been introduced to most supermarkets as a method of easing the stress of a weekly shop, it appears that for a large majority of the British public, they are doing quite the opposite. Although they may ease queue congestion, the anger they invoke when they fail to work properly is turning a lot of people off using them altogether.
Marks & Spencer was the first British retailer to pilot self-service tills in a few stores back in 2002, and since then the practice has been adopted by the majority of the bigger chains, including Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s. However, independent retailers are viewing the findings as further proof that customers favour face-to-face contact over automated service.
