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.
