Allegra McEvedy
Description
TV chef Allegra McEvedy tries her hand at a lesson in healthy cooking, introducing a wary group of primary school children to the joys of bran! Allegra has trained dozens of young cooks in restaurants over the years, but can she work her magic with a class of children? At St Mary Abbots Primary School in London, Allegra gets to work with the schools cookery club and teacher Sally Keck to make a huge batch of banana muffins with the pupils. But there is a catch. The muffins contain bran, the healthy ingredient that might prove unappetising to children if it were highlighted. Instead Allegra gets the class cracking eggs, creaming butter and sugar, and mashing bananas. The bran is just another ingredient. The class are swept along with Allegra's friendly, attentive teaching - and her energetic pace! Allegra gives her closing thoughts on getting children to eat healthy food at a young age - without labelling it as healthy - so it becomes the norm.
