Flying Start @ Redruth Forage And Cook!

Today the Preschool children at Flying Start Redruth brought the garden into the kitchen!

The children picked fresh blackberries from our garden and rosemary that we have been growing in our herb garden before getting busy making these delicious swirls.

While cooking, we also talked about hob safety and the importance of staying safe around hot surfaces, pans and utensils.
