More than half of parents in the west of Ireland consider themselves decent at making the dinner, according to a survey by Tesco, but less than a third learned how to cook in school.

So the British supermarket chain is sponsoring a Stronger Starts Cooks Programme designed to teach cookery to 3,000 school children in 42 primary schools across Ireland this year.

Last week, 75 pupils of St Patrick’s Primary School in Galway began the six-week, curriculum-aligned programme which includes a hands-on cooking workshop, and lessons in food science, food safety and healthy eating.
