Teaching Tips +
Introduce the journal at the start of an autumn, spring, or summer cooking unit and encourage students to build a seasonal recipe collection over the year. Use the rating and notes pages as a structured plenary — prompting children to evaluate what worked and what they'd change. Works well paired with a visit to a farmers' market, school garden, or supermarket seasonal aisle as a real-world learning hook.
