Category: I taught them to cook book

Prue Leith has written a passionate piece on her website about the demise of Offal and called it Awful Offal.

I wonder if she got the idea from my I taught them to cook book?

You can read about my disastrous lesson on stuffed hearts here.

We took out bits of veins and flaps, stuffed them with Paxo and roasted them in Bisto gravy. End of the day, only a few were taken home and I had to try and sell the rest to single men in the staffroom.

Thankyou Prue for your review of this book –

‘An accurate, and sometimes very funny, account of the trials of a young food teacher in the 70’s. A light hearted testament to the importance of food, education, and a sizzling expose of the blindness of the powers that be.’

IT’S STILL TRUE – FOOD AND NUTRITION TEACHING NEEDS TO BE VALUED.
