YORK school children were treated to lunch from a top chef to celebrate the opening of a new healthy eating canteen.

Michael Hjort, from Meltons, showed children at Carr Junior School how easy it is to cook healthy foods.

The school is one of ten in the area to receive funding from the Government's dining room project to update their canteen with a healthy eating theme.

Parents, staff and pupils were able to sample some of the meals prepared by Michael using fresh, healthy ingredients.
