8.7.4 Young People’s Involvement in Cookery
Young people were also asked in the 2008-09 Health and Lifestyle Survey if they helped
make meals or cook at home. Around a third of boys and around one in ten girls helped
make meals or cook at home rarely or never, with the majority helping often or
sometimes (Table 135).

Young people were also asked if they would be or were leaning cookery as part of Food
Technology or other lessons within school during that school year, and if they attended
an after school cookery club. For years 7-9, 95% of girls and 90% of boys were involved
in some cookery activity, and whilst for years 10-11 this percentage did decrease,
nevertheless around 70% of boys and just under 85% of girls were involved in some
type of cookery activity at home or at school (Table 136).
