Dig Your Dinner 2010

The 2010 Dig Your Dinner Grand Final will be taking place at Barnsdale Lodge, Rutland. Linking to The National Framework for Sustainable Schools (2020) the aim of the challenge is for Primary School pupils to design a healthy meal that will be cooked by Secondary School students.

Each Primary School taking part will be able to submit a maximum of 3 entries to The EBP. The Secondary Schools will then be given 3 different recipes to cook and will judge the 3 meals against each other and pick an overall winning team. The winning meal chosen by each of the 3 Rutland Secondary Schools will then go forward to the 'Cook-off' which will be held on Tuesday 13 July 2010 and will be prepared by a chef on the night. A judging panel will then select the overall winner.

Primary School Pupils will be required to: (Working in teams of 4)

Design a healthy meal for Secondary School students consisting of a starter, main course and a dessert.

Work to a given budget of £10.00 for the entire meal.
Source local produce.

Try to grow at least one of the ingredients used within the meal. (Which will keep costs down) 

Consider the ingredients used in terms of nutritional value. 

Produce a flyer for the meal which highlights the benifits of Healthy eating and includes nutritional information.

Secondary School Students will be required to:

Prepare and cook 3 separate Primary School menus designed by the pupils. (£10 per meal will be available for all the ingredients)

Judge the entries fairly in accordance with the Judging Criteria.

Choose one winner to go forward to the final 'Cook-off'.

Prepare a marketing campaign that will support the winning Primary Schools' meals  and ensure the promotion of Healthy eating.

Send up to 4 representatives to attend the final 'Cook-off'.
