WHEN it comes to cooking from scratch, a Chinese stir fry is the dish most people know how to cook without having to resort to a recipe book, according to a new survey.

Spaghetti bolognese was a close second with a traditional Sunday roast dinner in third place.

The survey was commissioned to launch a new online cooking series, Let’s Cookalong, delivered by the Tesco Eat Happy Project in partnership with the Children’s Food Trust.

The aim is to help boost the culinary knowledge of parents and children throughout the summer as new videos are added to YouTube each week.
