A new cook book entitled Real Meals: Cold Food That Tastes Great has recently been launched by the Department of Children, Schools and Families. The book is aimed at Year 6 Primary School pupils and contains a host of recipes to prepare from scratch during the school holidays. The recipes were developed with support from the School Food Trust and British Nutrition Foundation. We believe that these could all be used to create the perfect picnic.
