It isn't just a cookbook, it shares students' food stories, issues, values and identities - and this year we're developing this activist storytelling side of it in the YSJ Food Stories project, a collab between students of @YSJHistory @YSJLit @YSJFilmMedia and other subjects.

Good luck to all getting their A-level results today, but remember - once you get to Uni (if you want to go), no-one asks or cares what you got. At YSJU we care about your potential, so if you're engaged and curious about your subject, we want to hear from you!
