'In food and nutrition lessons students develop their knowledge of healthy eating and learn and apply the principles of nutrition and health. They will extend their practical skills by learning to cook a repertoire of predominantly savoury dishes so that they are able to feed themselves and others a healthy and varied diet. They become competent in a range of cooking techniques and understand the source, seasonality and characteristics of a broad range of ingredients.'
