KCS welcomes The Rt Hon Dawn Primarolo MP and Mr Andrew Slaughter MP.
Kids' Cookery School welcomed two very special guests on Tuesday 11th December 2007. The Minister of State for Public Health, The Rt Hon Dawn Primarolo and our local MP, Andrew Slaughter, came to watch some of our older students in action. They chatted to the students whilst they were busy cooking in the kitchen and then were lucky to get a taste of their impressive completed dishes! The students were all in the last week of their ten week cookery course accredited by the National Open College Network. You can learn more about this and our other projects here. Our guests were generous with their time when they met with Fiona Hamilton-Fairley (CEO) and John Fernandez (Head Chef) to learn more about the charity and our plans for the future of KCS.
