Full Time: Get cooking with Marcus and Tom

Marcus Rashford and Tom Kerridge have set up ‘Full Time: Get Cooking with Marcus & Tom’. They want to help give children and families the skills and confidence to cook good, proper food in their own kitchens, using the equipment available to them. They
hope to encourage children and their families to be creative, have fun and spend valuable time together cooking and eating.
As part of the year-long programme, Tom Kerridge has created 52 easy recipes available in various forms from selected supermarkets every Sunday morning. Each recipe will also feature a QR code linking to the Full Time Instagram page where users
can access tutorial videos. Parents are encouraged to try the recipes and share their results via Instagram using the hashtag #fulltimemeals. 

The recipe videos are also available on https://tomkerridge.com/full-time-meals/
