The Good Grub Club Recipe 1: Sausage and Bean Hotpot

This half term sees the official launch of The Good Grub Club, a joint initiative delivered by Parsons Down and supported by the West Berks Foodbank designed to educate, empower and inspire pupils to get cooking! 

Our first recipe is Sausage & Bean hotpot: 

All our recipes use budget-friendly ingredients and are nutritionally balanced, often providing 2 or 3 portions of vegetables. Ingredients usually come dried, in tins or jars, which means they are PERFECT for the days you haven’t had time to shop or need something quick to prepare at the end of a busy week.

Every recipe can also be cooked by children, with minimal support from grown-ups, which means you can put your feet up. 

A number of pupils will be cooking in school this term and, as part of this initiative, will be given the chance to bring the ingredients required home with them. We would LOVE to see what children are making at home so please send any photos through to office@pdp.w-berks.sch.uk  

If you’d like to try out any of the recipes, you can follow the instructions, below.

How to make it
