Marcus Rashford has teamed up with Gloucester chef Tom Kerridge on a mission to get young people cooking.

The Manchester United footballer and the Michelin starred chef are working together to launch Full Time - a series of five-minute films featuring the pair, that aim to inspire families to cook cheap and healthy meals.

They’ll be releasing a different recipe to Instagram each Sunday morning over the next year.

Tom Kerridge, who runs his own gastropub following his stint on MasterChef The Professionals, has assured that the meals are filling, nutritious and ‘pocket friendly’ made with easily available ingredients, The Guardian reports.

They include familiar favourites such as chicken stir fry, broccoli and cauliflower cheese, and fish pie jackets.

A classic fish finger sandwich is even on the menu; a version of which Kerridge first prepared aged 14, while his mum was out working her second job.

It comes as Marcus Rashford has been praised for his campaigning against food poverty born of his own childhood experiences, having been awarded an MBE for his work urging the government to extend its provision of free school meals.

He has also been working with Fairshare, a charity aimed at tackling food poverty and waste in the UK.

Working alongside Gloucester-born Tom Kerridge, who has lost a whopping 12 stone thanks to his switch to health-conscious cooking, the pair are eager to make the meals nutritious, balanced and affordable.

It follows a BBC Two series spearheaded by Kerridge, which documents his mission trying to 'Save Britain's Pubs'.

Among them was The Prince Albert in Stroud which was finding it tough even before the pandemic hit.
