Food/Cookery

• Experimenting and cooking your own food is a good way to try new flavours and combinations of foods
• Cookery classes can teach you about different types of food such as Italian or Indian
• Many people are taught to cook by other members of their family or friends - cooking is a good way of sharing knowledge and recipes
• It is important that you eat a balanced diet and try to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables each day.
• Different food groups give you a range of essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. Eating a balanced diet will ensure your body gets these vital nutrients to keep you healthy, feel fit and live longer

Safety in the kitchen

• Knives used for cooking are often very sharp so be careful not to cut yourself
• When cutting food, try and cut away from your body so that if the knife slips it doesn't cut you
• Ovens and hobs can get very hot so make sure you wear oven gloves so you don't burn yourself
