As part of the Growing Minds Project, funded by General Mills, 36 pupils from six schools in Hillingdon had their recipes selected for a brand new recipe book. Each recipe contains at least one ingredient the pupils have grown themselves and they had to be recipes that the pupils had created themselves or were family favourites.
This has resulted in more than 40 great recipes under the headings of: Breakfast and lunchbox; Afters school meals, Special occasions and Sweet treats. Here are just a few recipes to get your mouth watering;
- Garden Chicken Wrap
- Gran’s Chickpea Fritters with Yogurt Dip
- Smoked Paprika Lamb Kebabs
- Sausage Casserole with Herby Garlic Mash
- Pad Thai
- Carrot Halwa
Thanks to Manju Malhi who tested all the recipes and edited them for the book and also to the Potato Council who not only provided information for the book on how to grow potatoes but have enabled every Hillingdon school to receive a potato growing kit so that they can all grow their own next year.
