I joined Nick Nairn at his cookery school for lunch today. Lots of adults who care about school dinners were there and they all cooked a school lunch and photographed it. I chose the one I liked best. Everyone was really friendly and I enjoyed speaking to them. Nick showed me how to make lunch and it was quick and really tasty and cost the same as my lunches. I ate it all.
Unluckily our car broke down today and my arm is sore and we are late home so I will post more tomorrow. Today has been a new and great experience.

Yay. Take care of yourself! What a great day - and how nice for Nick Nairn to be featured in a famous food blog! :D
ReplyDeleteLook forward to Never Seconds continuing - I think this is a really important blog, and I love all the pics of all the different school lunches from around the world.
Hi Martha, It was great to meet you today. I'll send you some photos of everyone's lunch - including the one you cooked. What a great photo! A chef in the making maybe?
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming with your dad.
All the best (and I hope your arm and your car are fixed soon).

Glad you had a great time at the cookery school - sounds like a lot of fun! Looking forward to reading more. Hope the arm is ok.
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so fun to read. I love this picture of you as a chef!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really wonderful day, except the car of course. I'm glad we get to see a picture of you, and not just your lunch! You look great.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog.
Very good:)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!!! Sorry about your car and the car though!
ReplyDeleteIs that you ? I always thought you were younger ? Anyway still good to see you :D I'm a big fan of your blog, keep up the good work !
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! And it's great to finally see the face behind the amazing NeverSeconds blog :)
ReplyDeleteI work in the Marketing Department for a foodservice company in Ohio, USA. First thing every morning, I come in the office and check out your blog. I'm always eager to see what you had for lunch and what interesting tidbit you've chosen to share with the world :) I'm sorry to hear about your arm, and the car, but I'm glad your spirits are still high and that you have continued with your blog throughout it all. Keep up the amazing work. I see a Food Journalist or a Chef in the making!!
Yay! A pic of you, and cooking too! Love it. I read your blog everyday and admire the changes you are bringing about in your school. My boys bring their own lunches since their school doesn't have a cafeteria. I enjoy creating delicious, healthy lunches for them.
ReplyDeleteVery good:) http://nezirspb.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteI've been to the cook school. It's great
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great day. I'm sorry your arm is sore and that your local council has stopped you from blogging. I hope that when they realise how much attention your blog is getting, they will change their minds, because you have a really interesting blog - well done!

Surely this would not stop you from blogging about food in general in other venues.
ReplyDeleteP.S. - wow, you've raised over £20,000 on your JustGiving page for Mary's Meals now! That's fantastic, how exciting. Just another example of how much good this blog has done.
ReplyDeleteI decided to post this here since the relevant post has over 1000 comments and I figured there might be more of a chance that you would see it here. Anyway, don't let anyone shut you up. You are an intelligent, sweet, caring, and wonderful girl. I know you will do amazing things in your life. I am 25 years old and you have managed to inspire me. You've already changed the world more than me or anyone else my age that I know. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteGirls like you make us adults hopeful for the future. What a bright spark you are x
ReplyDeleteYou should check out www.eatliverun.com www.ohsheglows.com
ReplyDeleteLots of women have developed amazing careers out of what you do every day - food blogging :) Maybe you can't do it at school anymore...but don't stop! You can do breakfasts, dinners, and weekend meals! Keep up the good work~!
I hope the Scottish film industry is paying attention to your story VEG.
ReplyDeleteThere's a really good movie in this!
The blog was an nice idea but it's now the world gone mad.

Hi Martha - you are a very bright and intelligent young lady and have restored my faith in the future! I work at a school and see all too often children who don't care about themselves or others - you are an inspiration! Keep up the good work - you will go far. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteYou said you like Mexican food. Here's my favorite Mexican food recipe. In a pinch you can substitute red tomatoes for the tomatillos, but the tomatillos are more savory.

p.s. rotten of them to censor your blog. if they start sneakin' back to the garbage they were serving you before they got caught, ask your dad for an inexpensive cell phone with a camera.
"if they start sneakin' back to the garbage they were serving you before they got caught"
DeleteThey have not changed the meals whatsoever so thay can't go back.

ReplyDeletegood on you ! Martha , keep the United Kingdom on its toes , never take no for an answer , and I think you should become a food critic ....
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to see what they can do, cheaply, with food when they know what they're doing. :) I hope you stay on top of this issue, and continue to find other ways to keep them feeding kids the way they should so that you can grow up healthy, smart and happy! What a great lesson, Veg. You can change the world, starting with your own. Great job!! <3
ReplyDeleteYour work is inspiring! I will share your blog with other young people.
ReplyDeleteAm hoping your blog continues :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm just glad they didn't put her on TV with Gordon Ramsay! As much as I enjoy his "Kitchen Nightmares," he might have been a little too intense.
