Thursday afternoons have turned into a masterclass of cooking and healthy eating and our children have been getting hands on in developing some exciting dishes for our school lunch menu. <\/span><\/span>It has been a delight to see the children\u00a0enjoying learning about vegetables, herbs and where our meat and produce come from. We have had\u00a0tremendous fun\u00a0and some fantastic results in our finished dishes; taste buds have definitely been pleasantly surprised at how healthy food can taste. <\/span><\/span>Here is a copy of the meatball recipe for all you budding chefs to try at home. Hope you enjoy the fun as much as we did!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
