FATHERS and sons joined forces for the evening at Abbey College in Ramsey to take on a cooking challenge as part of a family learning week.
The evening had an Italian theme as the boys and their dads set about cooking a tasty meal of sundried tomato gnocchi with black olive and chorizo sauce.
Polly Redmond, advanced skills teacher in design and technology at Abbey College, organised the evening and lent a helping hand when it was required.
"There was a wonderful communal atmosphere," she said. "Many of the lads and dads admitted that they didn't do much cooking at home and most of them had never cooked together before."

"Dad and I prefer to stay at home and cook together and have an exciting meal ready for them when they return."
