Running from 22nd September to 7th October and now in its sixth year, British Food Fortnight is an established date on the school calendar. Hundreds of schools 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. Schools that take part in British Food Fortnight and enter the 'Cook for Life' Challenge have the chance to win Kenwood cooking equipment for their school.
