The 48-year-old chef has been campaigning to improve school food for more than two decades and now wants to celebrate Britain’s best school chefs with his talent show, the Good School Food Awards.
To mark International School Food Day, he praised Britain’s army of school chefs.
He said: ‘School kitchens are Britain’s largest restaurant chain.
“They serve five million meals a day.
“If professional chefs were asked to go to a high school for a day and serve 1,400 covers in 50 minutes, most would burst into tears.
“It’s really hard and the school lunch staff are doing a fantastic job.
“These awards are about showing love and appreciation and highlighting the best.”
The Good School Food Awards are open to nurseries, nurseries, primary and secondary non-fee-paying schools.
Anyone can nominate a catering team that they think deserves it.
Explain what makes them brilliant in less than 200 words.
