Running from 23rd September to 8th October and now in its fifth year, British Food Fortnight is an established date on the school calendar. Hundreds of schools in England and Wales use the event as an opportunity to teach young people about food: about the diverse and delicious range of food available, the benefits of healthy eating and about the pleasures of eating quality, fresh, seasonal and regionally distinct produce.
The theme of this year’s event is ‘Are you Cooking it?’. All schools in England and Wales are invited to teach children how to prepare simple meals during the Fortnight using the best of Britain’s in-season produce.
This section of the York Festival's site lists specialist events with a regional significance and York events relevent to British Food Fortnight theme of cookery for children.
