Chef Michael Coaker visits St Peter's Middle School in Windsor and works with Mary Beckford's Year 8 class to create dishes made using their own home-grown fruit and vegetables. They cook chicken stuffed with sage and roasted on a bed of vegetables including beetroot, new potatoes, courgettes and other produce from their garden. The roast is flavoured with chopped garlic and rosemary, and sweetened with organic honey from the local farm shop. Several of the pupils have never liked beetroot, but when it's roasted with honey they are quick converts. The big hit is the Eton Mess dessert which Michael makes from locally grown strawberries and raspberries plus some fruit that the pupils have brought in from their gardens. It's an appropriate dish as it's Wimbledon fortnight and the school is just down the road from Eton. Back in the kitchen the students have invited the rest of their class to share the meal they have cooked and they eagerly tuck in. Not a single scrap is left.
