Challenge

One of the best things about a sandwich is the huge variety of ways you can make one!

There are four key elements to making a delicious sandwich and this month’s challenge is to try and invent the tastiest sandwich ever.  The first decision you need to make is what type of bread to use (a big enough decision itself!). Here are some ideas for you to try:

- white bread
- wholemeal bread
- granary bread
- gluten free bread
- pitta bread
- baguette
- tortilla wrap
- morning roll
- burger bap

See how many options there are already?!?

Next you need to spread something on it to make the sandwich nice and moist. How about butter, margarine, mayonnaise or maybe even some tomato ketchup?

Provided you’re not a vegetarian, you probably want to add some meat to your perfect sandwich so why not take some inspiration from these:

- chicken
- ham
- tuna
- beef
- turkey
- cheese or egg (okay so these aren’t exactly meat but still, nice fillings!)

Finally you want to add some salad for a nice crunch. How about:

- lettuce
- tomato
- rocket
- watercress
- cucumber

The possibility and combinations are almost endless! Let us know how you get on creating your perfect sandwich and tell us how you make yours!

Summer is a time of school holidays and sunshine (unless you live near us when it’s school holidays and rain!).  But just in case the sun decides to get its hat on, this month we’re going to be running a lemonade stall – a great way for the kids to get in the kitchen and stretch their entrepreneurial streak too.

1. Create a delicious batch of lemonade (how about trying our recipe here?)
2. Work out who to sell your lemonade to (what about your neighbors, friends or family?)
3. Set a price to charge (think about how much all the ingredients cost)
4. Make your stand or design some posters to advertise your business
5. Get selling!
