Despite the Nation's Obsession with TV Cooking Programmes, Only a Third of Families are Cooking Together Every Month - Seite 2

The Ben's Beginners™ Digital Hub has fun interactive challenges for kids to develop skills like stirring, chopping, pouring and peeling and help create healthy and easy family-friendly recipes. As part of Ben's Beginners, families are encouraged to put their skills to the test over the coming months and set aside time to participate in International Cook with Your Kids Day on Saturday 15^th October.

Parents can find out more about Ben's Beginners™ at http://beginners.unclebens.co.uk/ and share their creations on social media via #LookWhatWeMade.
