Ready, Steady, Cook!
- The healthy way
Based on the popular UK TV show, The School Food Showdown is exhilarating, fun, hilarious, highly interactive and educational for all!
The Red Chilli and The Green Peas use fresh ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, meats, pulses, herbs and much more to cook the best balanced healthy meal in just 15 minutes.
We don't just leave the chefs to cook - we get so many volunteers involved in the workshop, including lots of tasters at the end!
The School Food Showdown is 1 hour long.
The theme of the workshop
Enhance understanding of healthy eating, aligned with the NHS Eatwell Guide.
We drive home the importance of eating right, helping students identify food groups and create balanced meals. Our highly interactive workshop keeps everyone completely engaged throughout!
The climax of the workshop is an exhilarating cook-off that really shows how delicious healthy food can be.
It's proven to have a positive impact on healthy eating in schools, helping students make healthy choices that they can take into adulthood.
Pupil Impact
The feedback is amazing! Pupils love it, and they learn from it.
The workshop is highly interactive, and super fun for everyone (including staff)!
We get lots and lots of volunteers and tasters.
We're absolutely confident your pupils will love the workshop.
If they don't, we'll give you your money back.
Community Impact
Many schools use our workshop to deliver wider impact in the community.
Change within acceptance of healthy eating needs to be embraced at home, with parents and legal guardians along with children.
We can deliver a workshop for parents, local residents and older generations in care homes round about.

What do schools say?
"Absolutely fantastic! The children and staff were totally engaged and learned so much! We will definitely be in touch to book for other year groups for enrichment days! -You were brilliant and really brought across the message in an exciting and encouraging way to all our children. Thank you so much!"
St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School
"We are an alternative provision, therefore our pupils are "Hard to Reach" One of the pupils stated "it inspired me". To be totally honest the word 'inspired' is not a word this child would normally use. This review simply does not show what an impact the show had on all our pupils."
The Cornerpost Education Centre
"Thank you for a fantastic afternoon, the children could not stop talking about what they had learnt for the rest of the day!
The whole experience was not only incredibly valuable in terms of learning but a memorable, interactive experience that the children will remember for a long time to come."
A Staffordshire Primary
"Absolutely fantastic. Would love to be involved again next year!
Children were engaged throughout and all involved. Loved the idea of discussing food groups and demonstrating these using ingredients in the meals."
