Fri 20 Aug 2010 @ 16:45 Hi guys,

Everyone I know seems to be on holiday at the moment, and I won’t be far behind them; I plan on chilling with the family and recharging my batteries before baby number four arrives.

So the next few weeks are looking very exciting, and to top it all off, September is also the month the cooking qualification I’ve created in partnership with Edexcel launches in schools around the UK. It’s called Jamie’s Home Cooking Skills and it’s the start of a real journey for me. As of this school year, the government has made cooking lessons mandatory for all students in British secondary schools.

This is a golden opportunity to equip kids with life skills and show them how fun cooking can be. No doubt I’ll learn a lot from teachers and students as the school year gets going. Keep an eye out for the website, which we’ll be launching very soon. I never thought I’d say this, but bring on the school year!

See you in September.
