Some 250 pupils of 12 to 14 year olds were organised in groups of 4 or 5, and were given 4 weeks to come up with a new potato based recipe, design a pack and marketing material for Bartlett’s Rooster potatoes. Appropriately, their efforts were judged by a team that included the Michelin star winning chef Andrew Fairlie, of ‘Andrew Fairlie @ Gleneagles’ and the winning team traveled to Gleneagles to see their recipe cooked by Andrew himself. They also saw the finished dish photographed for use on the pack that they designed and which is on sale exclusively in Somerfield’s Scottish stores while stocks last.
	St Margaret’s High School in Airdrie was recently the scene of a ‘Food and Drink challenge’. The competition, which was designed to to promote healthy eating and business enterprise within schools, was a joint venture between Scottish Food and Drink, Somerfield and ourselves.
