Food and Cooking Skills Education (FCSE) is a complex mix of policy
and practicality, educational theory and pedagogy, classroom and
government policy. This book shows how FCSE has been at the centre
of a tussle between education and policy for decades. It reviews
how FCSE has grappled with various significant issues of concern
that threaten to marginalise it and pose problems for educational
practicalities, as expectations are increased, but resources are
squeezed. It assesses the debate about the significance and
importance of acquiring practical food and cooking skills in a
society where the purchase of ready-made food has become
commonplace, and public knowledge of where our food comes from is
noticeably lacking. This has contributed to the escalating
incidence of diet-related diseases and the attendant cost to
society, and threatened environmental sustainability. In turn,
governments have reacted by proposals to make practical cooking
skills a statutory National Curriculum subject as part of the
armoury for tackling such costs. Based on detailed research
conducted across England and Wales, as well as comparisons with
thirty-five other countries or states, the author makes
recommendations for policy to manage this challenge facing
contemporary society.
