During the course of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games more than 14 million meals will be served across 40 different locations. This is the largest peace-time catering operation in the world!
Over the course of the Games 25,000 loaves of bread, 75,000 litres of milk and more than 330,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables will be consumed in the Olympic Village alone! And that’s just for starters….
You can be part of it too, by cooking some healthy dishes inspired by seven of the 205 countries taking part in the Olympic Games and the 147 countries in the Paralympic Games, using seasonal ingredients where possible and learning new cooking skills with your friends and family.
We’ve provided recipes inspired by seven countries which have either recently hosted, or are about to host, the Olympic and Paralympic Summer and Winter Games, or key partners in the London 2012 International Inspiration programme
