Kimbolton School proudly hosted TV doctor, Dr Rupy Aujla, on Thursday 27 June for an engaging day dedicated to nutritional education and culinary innovation. During his visit, Dr Rupy – who is a practicing NHS GP and regularly appears on BBC and ITV – spent the day with students and staff, talking to them about healthy eating and sampling a selection of his delicious recipes, some of which will be featured in the school’s menu moving forwards.
The day began with Dr Rupy delivering an informative talk and Q&A session on the importance of nutrition and its impact on overall well-being. Dr Rupy then met our Prep pupils and got valuable feedback about his meals as they enjoyed sampling his recipes. He then headed to our Senior School and toured the school before joining students and staff at lunchtime to enjoy two of his recipes - Chicken Cacciatore and Mushroom Bolognese, in the dining hall and signed copies of his latest book, Dr Rupy Cooks, which gave students and staff the opportunity to meet him, and ask questions. Dr Rupy toured the school before joining students and staff at lunchtime to enjoy two of his recipes in the dining hall. In the afternoon, he spent more time with the kitchen team – discussing how his recipes could be integrated into the school's meal planning.
Dr Rupy has a fascinating personal story to tell. After suffering a significant heart condition, he learnt more about nutritional medicine and was able to reverse his symptoms and improve his health. He now shares his knowledge on TV, in books, and via his website – The Doctor’s Kitchen – teaching people how to cook their way to health and the medicinal effects of eating and living well.
Will Chuter, Headmaster at Kimbolton School, said:
“We would like to thank Dr Rupy for taking the time to visit our school and remind us all about the importance of good nutrition. I am certain his insights will inspire our students and staff to embrace healthier eating habits. Eating well is about fuelling your body, and your brain, and we are delighted to offer some of Dr Rupy’s recipes in our school menu.”
Many thanks to Dr Rupy for coming in and educating us all on eating well to be well!
