A pioneering
project to bring young and old together so they can learn from each
other has been cooking up a storm in Fairford - with the help of
celebrity chef Robert Rees.
Both age groups have enjoyed learning more about themselves
and those from their community. |

Savour
the Flavour is a scheme which gives older people from the town's
Darby & Joan Club and Beaumore Place sheltered housing scheme
the opportunity to bridge the age gap and break down barriers by
meeting and mixing with members of Fairford Youth Club.
During
the six-month project which began in September they have been discussing
cooking tips, habits and favourite foods and learning more about
local produce and food and cookery through history.
The
aim has been to encourage dialogue between two generations who have
had little contact with each other before, and devise a recipe to
celebrate Fairford itself.

One
of the high spots was a talk and cookery demonstration by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Gloucestershire's
resident chef Robert Rees, who also gave his seal of approval to
recipes created by the two groups.

Piranty of Gloucestershire
Rural Community Council, which developed Savour the Flavour with
Cotswold
Museum Services and Central Cotswolds Youth Service, said: "Both
age groups have enjoyed learning more about themselves and those
from their community."
