There is a staggering logic about the Magirus Deutz decision to teach long-distance lorry drivers to cook. It is accepted that a trained man can get the best out of a truck, so it makes sense that when you introduce a cab equipped for the Middle Eastern and similar runs—as :Magirus have done—you teach the driver how to make the most of it.
Magirus have obtained the services of Swiss-trained Cordon-bleu lecturer Gail Roberts, and :she's been showing drivers how to cook a sensible diet for sitting-down wheeltwirlers. She says she's -finding the men are making wonderful ookaks—and to judge from their
comments they're grateful rather than bashful about being taught how to whip up a curry or a prawn cocktail.
Quote from Gail: "They have virtually no exercise on these long runs, so fatty fry-ups are out. I concentrate on easily digested high-protein dishes such as those based on grilled steak, eggs, milk, fish and cheese."
She adds that men are not only eager and competent pupils, but are also much more adventurous than women when it comes to cooking.
Pt makes a nice cachet, too, to add to the Class 1 hgv classification: "Cordon-bleutaught, Winsford, class of '76."
