Published 08/07/25A group of Year 10 students from West Craven High School have supported celebrity chef Jamie Oliver in setting a new Guinness World Record.
The West Craven students were amongst 10,515 people who participated worldwide in an online cookery lesson, with the attempt covering six continents, 42 countries, and more than 500 UK schools. The previous record was held by the Partnership for Health in Poland, with 6,778 participants in 2015.
The cookery lesson was held by Jamie's chef Krzysztof Sumik, with Jamie also taking part.
During the online lesson, participants cooked up fresh pasta with a no-cook tomato sauce. After it was confirmed a new World Record had been set, Jamie said:
“We did it! I'm absolutely delighted that we’ve broken the Guinness World Records title for the largest cookery lesson (multiple venues) ever. It just goes to show what an impact we can have when we come together to celebrate the joy of learning how to cook. We couldn’t have done it without everyone who joined the class – so thank you, each and every one of you, and cheers to us!”
