Tom is like any other teenager. He goes to school, does his homework, meets his friends and enjoys doing sport
But between 5.30 and 6.30 from Monday to Friday, Tom does something different. He cooks
dinner for all the family: mum, dad, younger brother Joe and older sister Emma.
Tom's mom says: I think it's important for teenagers to learn how to cook. Maths and English
are important, of course, but they need other skills too to help them in today's world.
First I taught Tom how to cook easy meals like pizza or egg and chips. Then he started using
recipes in my cookery books. Yesterday he made vegetable soup. It was very good!»
Tom says: « love cooking and I think I'm really good at it. None of my friends cook. I don't
know why, it isn't difficult and it's great fun!»
