MasterChef Australia Contestant Amina Elshafei Visits Pakistan In an effort to promote and disseminate key messages pertaining to nutrition and diet diversity, WFP in collaboration with AusAID planned a series of events as part of the visit of MasterChef Australia Season 5 contestant Ms. Amina Elshafei to Pakistan. The activities began with a cooking contest held at the Lahore College for Women University on the 21 August. Contestants from several regional schools and colleges were asked to prepare a low-budget nutritious meal that incorporated grains, vegetables, fruits, proteins and milk, and could feed a family of four (two adults and two children aged one to five years) and Amina was one of the judges. A visit to the production facilities of Asian Foods Limited was also organized to observe production of the locally developed and produced nutrition supplement “Acha Mum” which is used to treat malnutrition. On 26 August, Amina visited Jalozai IDP camp where she was briefed on the challenges faced mainly by women and children living there due to their displacement. Amina, a paediatric nurse by profession, greatly appreciated the efforts underway by the UN and other key stakeholders to improve the nutritional situation in the country. Other Operational Highlights During the month, WFP livelihood and CMAM interventions were impacted as a consequence of the monsoon flooding which manifested in the form of access constraints to CMAM sites whereas several completed livelihood projects had been affected as well as ongoing activities halted in some districts. A stock-take was initiated in northern Sindh to discern the extent of damage suffered in areas where WFP implements early recovery cash-for-work activities. WFP continues to monitor the situation closely in other areas as well and all possible measures are being taken to ensure continuity of ongoing operations in affected districts remains unaffected and all the planned activities are implemented as per their respective timelines. WFP, UNICEF, WHO and other government and NGO partners are continuing to implement the targeted CMAM/CNP programme in some of the most food insecure areas of the country. In cooperation with NGO partners and the Department of Health, the intervention is currently operational in 44 districts or agencies of Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, FATA and Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK). In August, WFP reached over 270,000 Moderately Acute malnourished children, pregnant and lactating women and siblings. A MoU has been signed with WFP’s cooperating partner, Micronutrient Initiative, for an expansion of the Universal Salt Iodization project into 110 out of 145 districts in Pakistan. The project is conducted in cooperation with provincial Health Departments, UNICEF, WHO and the NGO Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). Implementation is due to be initiated by the third week of September. The Ministry of National Food Security and Research, WFP, FAO, Oxfam and other stakeholders are preparing the celebration of the World Food Day in Pakistan scheduled for 29 October, 2013. Events to celebrate the day have been planned at the federal and provincial levels. WFP will contribute towards the event and is also sponsoring the Norman Borlaug Award as well as the planned Essay Competition. School feeding in FATA resumed in the summer zone schools and nearly 140,000 students were provided daily on-site rations of High Energy Biscuits in August. All targeted schools have been provided metal trunks for safe storage of the commodity, school supplies and other materials. To increase the outreach of the beneficiary feedback desk, all schools benefitting from the programme display contact information for beneficiaries to use to relay their grievances and suggestions. Targeting the most vulnerable families in FATA, implementation of the early recovery livelihoods through food-for- work programme focusing on the rehabilitation and improvement of assets is well underway in FATA’s South Waziristan, Kurram, Orakzai, Bajaur and Mohmand agencies. Assessments for the 5th and final round of activities are in progress subsequent to the successful completion of the previous 4 rounds. Relevant projects are being implemented based on the needs identified by the communities themselves and mostly include agricultural activities (such as kitchen gardening and vegetable production for income generation) and rehabilitation of the community infrastructure. Based on the results of a comprehensive feasibility study across districts targeted for WFP conditional cash programmes in 2013, activities seeking to rebuild community assets and thereby promote recovery from last year’s flood disaster in Sindh and Balochistan are ongoing. Intervention areas were selected based on levels of food insecurity, extent of destruction caused by flooding and necessary market functionality. A key success of the intervention is that targeted communities in northern Sindh where the activities suffered damage due to the renewed flooding took it upon themselves to repair the damages on a voluntary basis, illustrating a high level of ownership. DRR activities striving to improve community resilience in the event of future disasters in potentially hazard-prone districts are in progress in selected communities within prioritized districts of Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. A Norwegian funded capacity building project aiming to train district level government officials who are the first level responders to emergencies, in key areas of emergency preparedness and response; was ongoing with the collaborated effort of OCHA, WFP and relevant government authorities. WFP has contributed to fund management, logistics, and transportation, storage and safe distributions for the district and sub-district level trainings. Phase I of this initiative has been completed in 41 flood-prone districts where more than 450 personnel have been trained. Ten semi-permanent metallic warehousing facilities, each with a storage capacity of 300 metric tons were formally

  • Writing Australian Cookbooks for Younger Readers
    Brien & Wessell From ‘training in citizenship and home-making’ to ‘plating up’ Central Queensland University Donna Lee Brien Southern Cross University Adele Wessell From “training in citizenship and home-making” to “plating up”: Writing Australian cookbooks for younger readers Abstract: In term of popular literature about young people, cookbooks purporting to address children’s obesity and other diet related issues currently take a prominent place. Beside these, there is a growing related sub-genre of cookbooks for young people that are intended as guides use in practical food preparation. These include television tie-ins such as the globalised Junior MasterChef series as well as books by chefs, nutritionalists, activists, celebrities and parents, most of which have an almost rigidly proscriptive take on what, how and why children eat, and what and how they should eat. Working from Australian cookery instruction books for girls such as those by Flora Pell (1916 and later), through Margaret Gossett’s landmark Children’s Picture Cookbook (1947), to today’s plethora of children-targeted volumes, this paper addresses this Australian publishing phenomenon. It examines these books from the point of view of writers-as-producers as well as the intended consumers for these volumes, the various messages they convey, and what they reflect about food, society and writing for children in Australian popular culture. Biographical Note Dr Adele Wessell is a Senior Lecturer in History at Southern Cross University and Associate Fellow at the National Museum Australia. Her research focuses on food history. Recent publications include a special issue of TEXT journal co-edited with Donna Lee Brien on the Cultural Dynamics of Contemporary Food Choices.

In case of abuse or copyright appearing without permission e-mail [email protected] Do media play a role in promoting vocational education and training? The case of MasterChef Abstract It is often suggested that vocational education and training (VET) could be key to cut youth unemployment. VET programmes may provide young people with specific professional qualifications that enable them to successfully compete in the labour market. However, despite the great emphasis placed by governments and other institutions on these programmes, VET appears to be far from reaching its full potential in many countries. One barrier preventing students from pursuing this type of education is the stigma associated with VET. This paper looks at the role of media in changing the negative social perceptions of VET. Specifically, it examines whether in Italy the growing popularity of the cooking television reality show MasterChef has led to an increase in the number of students willing to study for a vocational qualification in hospitality and catering.
