Chefs in Schools Posted on: 2/09/2024

Chefs in Schools

We were delighted to host Chefs in Schools inaugural training conference at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School on 2nd September. The conference saw over 100 school kitchen staff travel from 35 schools across the country to hear from renowned chefs and food campaigners who support the charity’s mission to improve child health through school food. Attendees took part in kitchen skills workshops and shared their winning recipes and food education hacks. Speakers included TV chef and school food campaigner Jamie Oliver, Dame Prue Leith - restaurateur, television presenter, cookery writer and novelist, the charity’s co-founder and author of the School Food Plan, Henry Dimbleby, and Chief Innovation Officer, Nicole Pisani, cookbook writer and former Head Chef at Ottolenghi’s NOPI restaurant. The event also previewed Chefs in Schools' national membership, a one-stop-shop for excellence in school food, sharing knowledge and resources to ensure chefs and their teams feel part of a bigger support network. We are delighted to announce that we are one of the first schools to join Chefs in Schools’ Membership. Being a part of this membership will help us continue to transform our school food, deliver excellence and create a legacy of food that makes every visit to the dining hall a food education that’s enjoyable for all. We look forward to the year ahead with the support from Chefs in Schools and the exciting opportunities for our kitchen team.
