CHEF Noel Goulding gave pupils at a Bishop Auckland School a little of what is good for them last week.

Noel, who works as a chef-entertainer for Asda, visited King James I Community College to highlight the national campaign to encourage youngsters to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables every day.

He gave mad-cap demonstrations to the pupils, showing them how quick and easy it is to include the portions in everyday cooking, before letting them taste the end results.

Noel said: "I took them right through the healthy eating lifestyle and the benefits of eating five portions of fruit and veg a day."

Noel, who has worked in a number of top hotels and has even cooked for the Queen on the QE2, added: "We had food from all over the world and the kids were over the moon with it."
