YOUNGSTERS made their own recipe books in a bid to learn about healthy eating.

Around 100 children visited The Glades Shopping Centre in Bromley High Street, over the half-term break to take part in the free workshops.

There they cut out fruit and vegetable shapes and pasted them onto the front covers of the books which they made themselves to build awareness of the need to eat five portions a day to stay healthy.

A spokesman for The Glades, which organised the event to promote healthy eating, said: "It was a good way to combine fun and learning. It's important children coming to the workshops are taking something valuable away with them."
