It's only a £1 and you get to cook cool stuff, like lasagne and cinnamon muffins. The ingredients are all provided for us.

Rachel chopping peppers for her quiche

Today we're making mini-quiches and jam tarts. Charlotte's not that keen on cheese so she's a bit worried she won't like the quiches.

The chef show us what to do and then we all get stuck in. It's really good fun coz we get asked questions all the way through about the different types of food we're using.

We get to know all about the food groups like fats, proteins, fruit and vegetables. We've learned loads of things we didn't know about. Like a banana is actually a herb!

We learn about healthy eating and how eating lots of sugary food is bad for your teeth and very fattening. We still love eating junk food though - but try and have it once a week.

We also pick up handy hints like keeping your fingers tucked in when you're chopping stuff so you don't cut yourself.

Laura tucks in to her finished product

Once we've finished making our food we all sit down together and have a big dinner.

Then we have a fun quiz summing up everything we've learned. We get to take the recipe home so we can test it out on our families.

We think there should be more kids' cookery schools around the country so everyone can see how easy it is to cook!"
