LAST week budding young cooks from Peterchurch Primary joined the National 'Lets Get Cooking' Big Cookathon.

The Big Cookathon sparks children's passion for cooking in school.

The event has taught them the skills they need to make a healthy meal from scratch and inspires them to carry on cooking at home with their families.

This year the participants were proud to make a traditional cottage pie using wonderful Herefordshire ingredients.

Tender mince was donated by Neil Powell Butchers and delicious potatoes were donated by J.G Goring LTD, Dorstone.
