Common misconception
Following the Eatwell Guide is only about eating more healthily.
While following the Eatwell Guide will help people eat more healthily, it also has a 32% lower environmental footprint, compared to the current national diet, so can help us eat more sustainably too.
Teacher tip
Encourage pupils to be creative and apply their learning about eating in a more healthy and sustainble way. For example, they could use a different protein source (including fish), add more vegetables, and/or add wholegrain starchy foods.
Equipment
For ingredients and equipment see the recipe in additional materials.
