Fussy eaters? Cooking for children is child's play, says award-winning chef Mark Hix


When I was at Sir John Colfox School in Bridport, we used to study subjects such as rural science, woodwork, metalwork and cookery. In this day and age with health and safety policies, these subjects only exist as memories for many parents. In our early secondary school years we were taught how to plant vegetables and look after them until harvesting. We had to kill and pluck chickens, make chairs and produce wood carvings – and it all gave us such a sense of achievement and creativity.
