Primary 7 pupils in Innerleithen organised dinner for their family, friends and teachers after attending a 12-week cookery programme.
More than 20 guests sampled food prepared on the day by the youngsters, with support from You Can Cook staff Alex Wilson and Chloe Downs, who has been volunteering for the project since last year. You Can Cook – a social enterprise based in Peebles – has been running this project since last year.
Bosco Santimano, founding director of the company, said: “We at You Can Cook believe that for a project to succeed, we had to give the young people responsibility for making it work.”
