Barbara said: "It has been an amazing day with some excellent creations from girls who have never done any outdoor cooking before. I certainly don't need any tea! Our thanks go to the adult volunteers, [and to] Tesco Clitheroe, Ribble Farm Fare, and Total foods for supplying the ingredients."

Guide Emily Frankland said: "I want to go and cook for my mum and dad now."
