Pupils from schools across Harrow in north London have teamed up with children from a school in India to launch a healthy eating cookbook with a distinctly international flavour.
Using produce grown in their own school gardens, junior masterchefs from four Harrow schools and another in Kolkata competed to include their recipes in the culinary guide.
The Mayor of Harrow, Cllr Asad Omar, will taste a selection of the winning 23 dishes during a book launch at Canons High School on Wednesday 16th June. The easy-to-follow book features soups, curries and cakes, along with burritos and a Jamaican salmon dish, all cooked by pupils aged five to 13 years old.
The book launch celebrates the end of a British Council backed project to teach children about healthy eating, the environment and eco-awareness. Pupils from Canons High School , Stag Lane Middle, Stag Lane First and Glebe First & Middle school, all in Harrow , took part, along with children at Gokhale Memorial Girls' School in Kolkata.

Harrow Elects First Muslim Mayor
The Mayor Making ceremony and annual meeting of the council was very interesting last night. The outgoing Mayor was Mr Eric Silver who spoke about the past year in office and was thanked by colleagues. The incoming Mayor was Councillor Asad Omar who was unanimously voted in and praised by other Councillors. It was good to see cross party support for the new Mayor from the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats, as representatives from all three parties spoke to support the nomination.
Councillor Asad Omar accepted the position of Mayor and dedicated the Mayoralty and named as the Mayoress his late wife who he said served as an inspiration to him.
As reported by The Harrow Times, Cllr Omar becomes Harrow's first Muslim Mayor and has named his theme for the forthcoming year as diversity and delivered an inspiring speech which reminded his audience that whatever party they represent they had been elected by the people of Harrow and it is their duty to serve their electorates.
