Let`s Get Cooking - Childrens Food Trust

A recipe for healthier communities
The impact of Let’s Get Cooking
October 2007 to September 2011
“I really love cooking and find it
lots of fun. I have learnt new skills
and now know how to make many
different dishes and have cooked
for my mum and dad at home.”
Ellie McWilliam, aged 9, Year 5 pupil at
Castledyke Primary School, Barton-upon-Humber
“The recipes encourage children
to be more adventurous in what
they will eat – it’s great to hear
parents say, ‘they’d never try that
at home’.”
Donna Sully, Let’s Get Cooking club coordinator,
Carr Head Primary School, Lancashire
“Let’s Get Cooking has helped me
build up friendships with other
parents. I have learnt new dishes
like mini quiche and curry, I enjoy
cooking now.”
“As family support worker it is a great way to
engage parents and children, and provide them with
opportunities to learn skills needed to improve their diet,
widen horizons, get them working as a team and as a
community. The possibilities are endless!”
Kelli-Anne Broome, parent and Let’s Get Cooking
club member at Biddick Hall Infants School
Liz Priest, Let’s Get Cooking club coordinator,
St Martin’s RC Primary, Runcorn

Foreword from the Chair of the
Children’s Food Trust and School Food Trust
Five years since the launch of Let’s Get Cooking, there are now over 5,000 clubs covering every
local authority in England. The programme is led by the Children’s Food Trust with the School
Food Trust, and the work in schools is supported by a £20 million grant from the Big Lottery Fund.
We know from the stories that clubs tell us how much of a difference Let’s Get Cooking can make to
the lives of children and adults alike. Club coordinators tell us that Let’s Get Cooking helps to improve
numeracy, literacy, communication skills and team work, building a sense of achievement and confidence
for children and their families.
Clubs also tell us that Let’s Get Cooking makes a difference to the food that children and adults are
willing to try, and their understanding of healthy eating.
This evaluation has given us the opportunity to show that Let’s Get Cooking makes a measurable
difference to people’s lives. We now know that the skills people learn in Let’s Get Cooking clubs stay
with them beyond taking part in club sessions. We know that taking part in Let’s Get Cooking makes a
real difference to the type of food that people eat.
Thanks must go to all those clubs who took part in the evaluation study, and to all of our Let’s Get
Cooking clubs across the country – their dedication and hard work has achieved amazing results,
making a difference to the lives of over 1.7 million people.
I hope you enjoy reading more about the impact that Let’s Get Cooking has had to date, as we look
forward to helping even more people improve their cooking skills.
Rob Rees, Chair of the Children’s Food Trust and the School Food Trust

A summary of the impact
of Let’s Get Cooking
We can see a shift in eating habits amongst people who have learnt to cook with Let’s Get Cooking.
• 92 per cent of Let’s Get Cooking club members report that
they use their new cooking skills at home.
• 58 per cent of Let’s Get Cooking club members report
eating more healthily after their involvement with the
programme.
• The evaluation of the programme has shown that, on
average, Let’s Get Cooking club members share their new
cooking skills with at least one other person.
• More than 1.7 million people have improved their cooking
skills through their involvement with Let’s Get Cooking.
Let’s Get Cooking can also have a sustained impact on
communities.
• Three months after taking part in Let’s Get Cooking,
nearly half of all club members are still eating more
healthily than they were before they joined the clubs.
• Once club activities have ended, 91 per cent of club
members are continuing to use their new cooking skills
at home.
Let’s Get Cooking offers excellent value for money,
delivering this healthy impact at an average cost of £34 per
club member.

How does Let’s Get Cooking work?
Let’s Get Cooking runs England’s largest national network of healthy, school-based cooking clubs,
led by the Children’s Food Trust with the School Food Trust.
In 2007, the School Food Trust was awarded funding from Big Lottery Fund to set up and
support the first 5,000 clubs for children and their families.
Let’s Get Cooking supports clubs by offering specialist training for adult helpers, access to
funding and a wide range of resources.
Let’s Get Cooking clubs are run by parents, school cooks, teachers, teaching assistants and
volunteers from the school community.
Clubs receive funding to help with the costs of ingredients and equipment. All clubs are
encouraged to attend regular training events and use the support and advice of expert
Let’s Get Cooking staff.
Clubs are supported to become sustainable within their school, ensuring the benefits of
Let’s Get Cooking are seen for many years.
Clubs were recruited in every local authority in England, with priority given to schools in the most
disadvantaged areas.
The Let’s Get Cooking approach
Let’s Get Cooking clubs are required to cook healthy food with their members. All clubs sign
up to an agreement to cook ‘good food that is good for you’ from basic ingredients, mainly
using recipes provided by Let’s Get Cooking.
All children and adults who have prepared food in a club session are given a free copy of
the recipe immediately after they have prepared it. Club leaders actively encourage club
members to replicate recipes and skills learnt at home. Trying recipes at home is quickly
established as ‘the norm’ for club members.

Let’s Get Cooking evaluation report | Page 7
How was the impact of
Let’s Get Cooking measured?
The Let’s Get Cooking programme was measured through:
1. an in-depth evaluation study
2. activity reports submitted by clubs through the Let’s Get Cooking website
3. feedback forms collected during training sessions for club leaders and helpers
4. assessing the value for money offered by the programme.
What did the evaluation aim to find out?
The evaluation and the supporting monitoring aimed to find out whether Let’s Get
Cooking made a difference to the cooking skills and eating habits of club members
and their families.
Ethical approval
Ethical approval for the Let’s Get Cooking evaluation was granted until 8 July 2012
by the Research Ethics Committee of King’s College London (CREC/07/08-195).
Page 8 | Let’s Get Cooking evaluation report
Evaluation method
The method for evaluating of the Let’s Get Cooking programme was developed by
researchers from the School Food Trust, while any necessary fieldwork was undertaken by
TNS BRMB (social research agency). Fieldworkers were trained by the School Food Trust
before visiting schools.
A representative sample of 271 clubs (approximately 5.5 per cent) was selected to take part
in the evaluation. A rigorous stratified sampling approach ensured that the results of the
evaluation gave a truly representative picture of the impact of the programme.
Clubs were recruited for the evaluation over a three-year period. This approach ensured a
sample from each wave of recruitment of the 5,000 Let’s Get Cooking clubs was included in
the evaluation (and that each local authority was represented).
If chosen, clubs were required to participate in the evaluation, although individual club
members were able to opt out. This ensured that the sample was random and it was not just
the most enthusiastic clubs taking part.
A small number of clubs were chosen for a further follow-up visit to see whether the
improvement in eating habits was sustained over time.
Club members from the selected clubs were asked to complete a short questionnaire on two
occasions; once near the beginning of their involvement with the club, and again at the end
of their time at the club (usually after six to eight weeks).
Developing the questionnaire
The change in eating habits was measured by showing a list of foods,
which contained both ‘healthy’ and ‘less healthy’ foods, and asking club
members to tick the foods that they had eaten during the previous 24
hours (yesterday and today). Healthy foods include items such as fresh fruit and vegetables, whilst
less healthy foods include processed foods and those high in salt, sugar
and saturated fat. Club members were asked if they had added any
sugar or salt to the food they had eaten.
Club members were also asked if and where they had eaten breakfast,
and whether they had eaten a school or packed lunch.
The wording and layout of the questionnaire was carefully designed to
minimise any bias towards those participants who might give answers
that they thought were likely to be correct rather than true – for
example, healthy and less healthy food items were randomly distributed
within their food group lists.
The questionnaire was trialled with a pilot group of Let’s Get Cooking
clubs, and any necessary changes were then made to question phrasing
to maximise the quality of the answers and accuracy of the data.
Let’s Get Cooking evaluation report | Page 9
Collecting the data
Fieldworkers visited selected clubs during the second
Let’s Get Cooking session of the term or series of club
sessions. All consenting club members1, including any
adults that were attending with children, completed a
questionnaire.
Club members then took part in Let’s Get Cooking club
activities for a few weeks, learning to cook a range of
healthy recipes and taking part in community cooking
events.
Six to eight weeks later, the fieldworker re-visited the
club and the club members repeated the questionnaire.
This second questionnaire also included a section
about the skills club members had learnt, and the skills
they had used at home and which they had shown to
other people.
The two questionnaires were then analysed. No club
or club member could be identified; unique reference
numbers were used to match up the ‘before’ and ‘after’
questionnaires.
The change in eating habits was calculated by comparing
the ratio of healthy to less healthy food items eaten
between the two time points of the questionnaire.
After all five waves of the evaluation, 2,433 participants
(attending 243 clubs) had filled in questionnaires.
A total of 1,754 participants (72 per cent) attended both
sessions and so had completed a questionnaire at both
time points. These were included in the analysis that
estimated the change in eating habits.

Key Stage 2 or older; Key Stage 1 members were evaluated using a picture sort task, explained later.
Page 10 | Let’s Get Cooking evaluation report
Evaluating the impact
on younger participants
Twenty-six clubs taking part in the evaluation were working with infant age
(Key Stage 1) children. A slightly different evaluation method was used to collect
data from this age group, to allow for reading age or memory skills that are not
sufficiently developed for them to complete a questionnaire.
A simple, picture sort-card method was developed that could be done on a one-toone basis with a fieldworker. This enabled younger club members to say what they
had eaten. This was done on an individual basis to prevent children copying the
responses of their friends.
After all five waves of evaluation, 465 infant-aged children (Key Stage 1, age range
4 to 8 years) had taken part in the evaluation, of whom 355 completed the picturecard task at both times and were included in the analysis to measure the change in
eating habits.
Measuring long-term impact
A small number of clubs were selected for a further follow-up visit to measure
whether the improvement in eating habits was sustained over time. Forty-four
schools were asked to undertake a follow-up questionnaire with club members,
three months after their club sessions had finished.
These questionnaires were administered by the club coordinators, and were
completed by 326 club members.
Monitoring club activities
and the number of people
cooking
All Let’s Get Cooking clubs are required to submit
activity reports regularly through the Let’s Get
Cooking website. These reports collect monitoring
information such as the number of club members,
and the number of people cooking at community
events (when completing activity reports, clubs are
required to count only those club members attending
a session for the first time, so as to avoid double
counting of beneficiaries).
This has provided information about the total number
of people who have benefitted from Let’s Get Cooking,
up to the time that this report was written.
Assessing the quality of training
for club leaders and helpers
All club leaders and helpers attending the two-day Let’s Get Cooking demonstrator training course were
required to complete a feedback form.
This measured how well the training had delivered against the aim of the training (to understand how to
set up and run a successful Let’s Get Cooking club) and against the following objectives:
• to develop ideas about how to involve families, the whole school and the local community in cooking
and food activities
• to develop food preparation and handling skills
• to increase awareness of safety issues, including food safety and hygiene
• to experience different approaches towards demonstrating cookery skills and managing cooking groups
• to increase knowledge of how to cook and adapt recipes for a healthy diet.
In addition, participants were asked to give an overall rating for the course.
Data from feedback forms was collated centrally by the Let’s Get Cooking team.

What impact has Let’s Get Cooking had?
Cooking skills
More than nine out of 10 (92 per cent) of Let’s Get
Cooking club members told us that they have used
their new cooking skills at home.
On average, club members have shared their new cooking skills with at least one
other person.
Following a recipe and cutting, chopping or slicing food were the skills most often
reported as having been learned in Let’s Get Cooking club sessions.
In general, cutting, chopping or slicing food, combining or mixing ingredients, and
following a recipe were the skills reported most often as being replicated at home.
Food safety messages (such as how to cut and chop using bridge and claw
methods, and using knives carefully) also featured highly when club members
were asked to comment on what they enjoyed most about Let’s Get Cooking.
Healthy eating
The evaluation has shown that over half (58 per cent) of Let’s Get Cooking
club members reported eating more healthily after their involvement with the
programme.
Sixteen per cent of these had increased the difference between healthy and less
healthy items by at least 10 points after taking part in club activities – indicating a
large change towards a healthier diet.

The impact of Let’s Get Cooking
on younger participants
The evaluation provides a limited amount of evidence that more infant-aged club members
are eating bananas, peas and tomatoes after taking part in club activities.
Infant-aged children have limited recall ability, so these results should be viewed with
caution, but even so, it is possible that the observed increase was due to improved
recognition of these foods. Food awareness is an important aspect of learning healthy eating
habits in young children. It is likely that children exposed to a wide range of foods at an early
age will eat a more varied diet in the future. Therefore, an improvement in recognition can be
considered a positive outcome with this age group for the Let’s Get Cooking programme.
Impact on eating school meals
There is tentative evidence from the evaluation that pupils are more
likely to have a school lunch after participating in Let’s Get Cooking
club activities.
If this trend is confirmed, it is an important outcome, as food served
in schools has had to conform to both food-based and nutrientbased standards since 2008. Children are more likely to concentrate
in the classroom in the afternoon after eating a healthy school lunch
in a pleasant environment. This also improves their health and their
learning about making better food choices.

Case Study
What else did the
evaluation find out?
The evaluation also provided club members with
the opportunity to provide comments about Let’s
Get Cooking.
Comments received over the course of the
evaluation period indicated that not only do
children value the experience of being allowed to
cook rather than watch a demonstration, but for
some it suggests that they discover that cooking
a meal is something they can actually achieve.
Attending the club for these children in particular
helps to increase confidence and self-esteem.
Comments and anecdotal feedback also suggest
that Let’s Get Cooking clubs can help to bring
families together, and support the development of
social skills in children.
Rebecca McDonald joined
East Crompton St James’
C.E. Primary School’s Let’s
Get Cooking club as soon as
it was established, back in
April 2010.
Club coordinator Gillian Baras noticed that
being involved in the club was benefitting
Rebecca in many ways;
Rebecca McDonald (second from left) with Let's Get Cooking club
members at East Crompton St. James' C.E. Primary School.
“Rebecca’s a lovely girl but was quite shy and didn’t have
much confidence in herself before she joined the Let’s Get
Cooking club. Since she’s been coming along, though, it’s clear
she has a natural flair and a passion for cooking which I don’t
think she’s really felt during other lessons, and so her selfesteem has really grown as a result.”
Rebecca says she now feels much more confident, in part due to other club members asking her
for help and guidance during the sessions, giving her a sense of value. Assisting Gillian during
cookery events helped Rebecca’s confidence grow further still.
“I wouldn’t have had the confidence to talk to adults I didn’t
know before, but after I helped Mrs Baras at our cooking
club events, I feel much less shy and more comfortable
talking to people.”
Rebecca is now thinking of training for a career related to cooking when she leaves school.
She had previously considered this, as she enjoyed cooking with her grandma even before
joining Let’s Get Cooking, but now she actually has the confidence in her ability to see it as a
real possibility.

Quality of training
for club leaders and
helpers
Six thousand adult club leaders and
helpers took part in the two-day Let’s
Get Cooking demonstrator training
course between October 2007 and
March 2011.
The demonstrator training course was
rated as ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’ by
99 per cent of all participants.
In 2009, the Let’s Get Cooking twoday demonstrator training course
was accredited by the Royal Society
for Public Health. To achieve this
endorsement, the training programme
underwent an expert review,
assessing how effectively it prepares
trainees in cookery demonstration
skills and in food safety, nutrition, and
health and safety.
The accreditation shows the high
standard of training and support that
demonstrators receive to help them
run clubs safely and effectively.
“Very enjoyable. It certainly
inspired me to cook as well as
heightened my food hygiene
awareness. I went home and
cleaned the fridge!”
“Factual,
interactive,
engaging and
accessible,
providing us with
practical skills to set
up our own clubs.”
“The whole experience
of this course has been
great. I can’t wait to
get my club up and
running, thank you.”
Let’s Get Cooking evaluation report | Page 15
Value for money assessment
A full Let’s Get Cooking club, set up from scratch in a school without existing after-school cooking
activities costs £5,000 to equip, train the club coordinators and run for three years.
£2,500 of this goes directly to the club to cover equipment and running costs, whilst the other £2,500
covers the central costs of training, supporting and monitoring the club over a three-year period.
Cost per beneficiary
To date the programme has been delivered at an average cost of:
• £34 per club member
• £11 per beneficiary (including family members and those attending community
events who have developed their cooking skills).
The monitoring and evaluation information indicates that the Let’s Get Cooking
programme offers excellent value for money.

We asked club members:
‘What did you enjoy ab
“Eating what I’ve cooked. I now enjoy cooking and care about what I’m eating. I’ve cooked more
since starting the lessons than ever before. Overall, it has been very useful!”
“I like food that I wasn’t so keen
on before, such as carrots and
strawberries and raspberries.”
“Cooking, spending time
with my mum.”
“It introduced me to new recipes – for example, I
never ate fish but now I enjoy making fish pie and
fish paté, which I would never normally eat. I have
fun making and trying foods and taking them
home to show friends and family.”
“Having fun with my friends
after school whilst also learning
new skills.”
“I have enjoyed my lessons here at the cooking
club and have learnt a lot of skills, but at the same
time made new friends and had fun!”
“It is a fun and exciting
way to teach children
healthy recipes that we
remember at home. I love
eating our creations. The
fajitas were lovely!”
Page 18 | Let’s Get Cooking evaluation report
“Working as a team to make things. Trying new
things that I’m not allowed to do at home, and
most of all eating the food and having fun!”
“Being with my friends, cooking
things for my family.”
bout Let’s Get Cooking?’
Case Study
For one mum, Kelli-Anne Broome, Let’s Get Cooking was an
ideal way to spend time with her son, whilst learning new
cooking skills. In fact, Kelli-Anne found the club to be a route
to new opportunities, as she ended up volunteering in the
schools’ community café. Kelli-Anne told us a bit about her
Let’s Get Cooking experience…
“Before coming to Let’s Get Cooking I would only make things like cakes from boxes at home.
Now I can make things like mini quiches, healthy muffins, burger and curries from scratch
– I really enjoy cooking now!”
“Let’s Get Cooking has made me come out of my shell a lot. Before attending the club,
I wouldn’t talk to the other parents much but now I have become friends with other parents.
I still help out with the Let’s Get Cooking club which means I am always making new friends
with the new parents starting at the club.”
“The school decided that they would be opening a community café within the school
grounds and were looking for volunteers. Myself and a friend decided that we would do it to
get ourselves out of the house and meet new people. That was a year ago and I have been
volunteering ever since. I love it here, it is tiring but I love coming here for the people and the
chance to practice my cooking skills.”
“I have also got three qualifications in food hygiene and first aid, which I wouldn’t have got if
it hadn’t been for Let’s Get Cooking.”
Kelli-Anne helping at her Let’s Get Cooking
club session and in the school café.
“Let’s Get Cooking is marvellous, absolutely marvellous.”

Does Let’s Get Cooking have
a sustained impact?
Out of 326 people who completed the three-month follow-up survey:
Ninety-one per cent of club members continue to use their
new cooking skills at home after club activities have
finished. In particular, club members showed retention of
messages about healthy eating, food hygiene and safety in
the kitchen.
Almost half (45 per cent) of Let’s Get Cooking club members
were eating more healthy items three months after the end
of club sessions.
These results suggest that Let’s Get Cooking club sessions
can have a sustained impact on members’ eating habits and
cooking skill levels.
As part of the three month follow-up club members were
asked what they had remembered about taking part in club
activities. Most of them could remember at least one activity
or message, with knife skills being the most frequently
mentioned. Many club members remembered two or more
messages and when the responses were coded into general
themes more than half were concerned with safety, as
shown in figure 1.

Postscript:
What is next for Let’s Get Cooking?
“As Let’s Get Cooking ends its recruitment of schools through support via the Big Lottery Fund,
we have been looking to the future and are beginning to take Let’s Get Cooking’s training and
support to a wider variety of new organisations and audiences.
We have already delivered training programmes for a number of primary care trusts, local authorities
and other organisations and charities, enabling youth leaders, sports coaches, exercise specialists and
community leaders to set up healthy cooking sessions in their own communities.
We will continue to support all of our school-based Let’s Get Cooking clubs. We are looking forward to
reaching over two million people through the Let’s Get Cooking programme, and working to spread the
Let’s Get Cooking message even more widely throughout the country.”

“The kids just love to cook, and as a result they try different
things that they would not try at home. I have had several
parents come up to me and say they couldn’t believe that
I had got their child to eat fruit and vegetables! Also, one
parent was so impressed with one of the recipes that she
took it to work to do with some elderly patients in rehab.”

“The first day back at school in September we had children
and parents asking when our club would be starting again
and this gave us a tremendous boost. I couldn’t have done
this without your help and support and the training you
give is first class. We can only grow!”
