Skye & Lochalsh Food Link (SLFL) is working with third year pupils at Plockton and Portree High Schools to improve the health and wellbeing of older people in Skye and Lochalsh.
The pupils have been challenged to design a nutritionally sound and easy to prepare soup, main course and dessert, which will be staged to a multi-lunch club audience followed by a communal meal.
SLFL was awarded funding by Highland Council, through Food Standards Agency Scotland’s scheme for Food Hygiene and Healthy Eating Initiatives. Pupils showed their enthusiasm for the project, following a talk about local food, cheese tasting quiz and cookery demonstration of smoked mackerel pate, by Food Link members, Dede MacGillivray and Carole Inglis.
Carole Inglis, chair of SLFL said: “Our aim is to educate consumers by promoting the importance of local food in economic and environmental terms, and to explain the key role that food plays in the health and wellbeing of the rural communities of Skye and Lochalsh.
