Thousands of young cooks are at the Children’s Food Festival near Little Wittenham in south Oxfordshire today, the second day of the two-day festival.

They are learning how to make pasta and pizza, chop vegetables for salads and spot all sorts of herbs and spices.

Celebrity chefs Raymond Blanc, Sophie Grigson, Annabel Karmel, Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall and Nora Sands, star of the TV programme Jamie’s School Dinners, are all featuring at the festival.

Claire Armstrong, 32, from Headington, brought children Charley, four, and Jamie, three, to the event yesterday.

She said: “It’s a fantastic thing for kids to learn about food at a young age.”
