A local charity which aims to promote good nutrition is marking its 10th birthday with a one-of-a-kind children's cookbook which will feature the culinary creations of Jersey's own junior chefs.
Caring Cooks of Jersey is inviting primary school children across the island to showcase their best and most creative recipes.
The final cookbook will feature the recipes of 30 local children alongside 10 recipes from Caring Cooks' 'Let’s Get Cooking' programme, and 10 recipes from the charity's ‘Flourish’ Primary School lunch programme.
Local artist and accredited Genuine Jersey member, Susan Lintell will illustrate the children's recipes.

Yvonne Corbin, CEO at Caring Cooks, said: "Caring Cooks has always been about empowering children and their families with the knowledge and skills to make nutritious, delicious food.
"This cookbook is a milestone in our decade-long journey, and we're thrilled to invite the children of Jersey to be a part of our future."
The charity is encouraging children to utilise their time between now and the end of the October half-term for culinary exploration.
The cookbook, which will be offered at a "very accessible price", promises to be a "vibrant collection of local flavours".
