The new Aldi store launched a competition with East Whitby Academy to create an exciting, healthy recipe as part of Aldi’s initiative, Get Set to Eat Fresh, which hopes to inspire 1.2 million school children aged five to 14, to learn more about the benefits of cooking fresh, healthy food with their families.
Competition winners, Emily and Madeleine, created the two winning recipes - a healthy pizza topped with chicken and a salmon fillet with a traffic light salad.
