In order to help get you started, we have asked two celebrity chefs, Sophie Grigson and James McIntosh, to each contribute two of their recipes to the Roots & Shoots website. You could print the recipes off and design your own school recipe book, perhaps adding some of your own favourite recipes (you might like to ask teachers, parents, local restaurants and the school dinner ladies for some additional ideas!) You can then raise money for Roots & Shoots by selling your school’s recipe book or by cooking and selling some of the recipes at a school event. Why not try both?
Here are two recipes from Sophie Grigson:
