The Livestock and Meat Commission for Northern Ireland (LMC) has opened bookings for its fully funded primary school cooking demonstrations.
The 45-minute demonstrations, led by LMC’s cookery demonstrators, are available to Key Stage 2 classes across Northern Ireland.
During the session, pupils will be educated on topics relevant to their curriculum and will have the opportunity to sample a fresh beef or lamb dish prepared by LMC demonstrators.
Lauren Patterson, head of marketing and communications at LMC said: “LMC’s education programme has been running for more than 25 years, reflecting our longstanding commitment and dedication to supporting educators and engaging with young people.
“We understand the importance of engaging with children at primary school level to start the conversation early and share the benefits of choosing Northern Ireland Farm Quality Assured (NIFQA) beef and lamb and the importance of looking for the logo in the farm to fork story.”
Caitlin Campbell, a teacher from St. Ninnidh’s Primary spoke about the cookery demonstration held for her class last year: “The class loved it! Hilary is fantastic!
“The children all really engaged at all points throughout the demo, and I know they are now more aware of where their food comes from. The demonstration was extremely informative, and I will definitely book again in the future. The food prepared for the children was delicious!”
