What happens when you let loose a classroom of secondary school students to cook our School Plates recipes? Magic, that’s what! 🧑🍳🌟
Last week, our School Plates team facilitated our first ‘Cooking with Plants’ student workshop at Meoncross School.
Forget 'side dish' - pulses are the star of the show. 🌟🌱
It’s #WorldPulsesDay and we’re celebrating the unsung heroes of the pantry. From creamy lentil dals, to coronation chickpea sandwich fillings, pulses pack texture, flavour, and a range of health benefits.
