"I
particularly like the way Food Challenge works directly with
children. They don't just jet in with big ideas from food
companies. Food challenge grows organically with real people,
real lives and real food. It's really good."

must comment on how much I liked the emphasis on the enjoyment
and experimentation aspects of food and cooking. I'm sure
this approach will be received very enthusiastically by
the children of the schools that opt into the programme."
