Celebrity Chef Visits Trinity High For 'Fairtrade Fortnight'
Celebrity chef Simon Rimmer spent the day teaching youngsters at two Manchester schools about how Fairtrade products can be tasty as well as ethical. The chef, who runs Greens in West Didsbury and co-presents BBC Two’s Something For The Weekend, visited Chorlton High School and Trinity High School in Hulme on Tuesday, 26 February. He spent two hours at each school, showing pupils how to make
Fairtrade brownies with marshmallow sauce, as part of Manchester City Council’s involvement in Fairtrade Fortnight.
Mr Rimmer said: “Fairtrade is something which means a lot to me as a chef, and I want to help show it’s not a dull subject, but something which can be used in the kitchen as part of everyday life.”
Fairtrade Fortnight is intended to give the city’s residents an insight into the importance of Fairtrade and is run in conjunction with the council’s 100 Days environmental campaign.
