The chef, 48, has been campaigning to improve school food for more than 20 years and now wants to celebrate Britain’s best school cooks with his talent search the Good School Food Awards.
To mark International School Food Day he praised Britain’s army of school cooks.
He said: “School kitchens are Britain’s biggest restaurant chain.
“They serve up five millions meals a day.
“If professional chefs were asked to go to a secondary school for a day and serve 1,400 covers in 50 minutes, most would end up in tears.
“It is really hard and school lunch staff do an incredible job.
“These awards are about showing love and appreciation and shining a light on the best.”
The Good School Food Awards are open to nurseries, pre-school, primary and secondary non-paying schools.
Anyone can nominate a catering team they feel deserves it.
Just explain in fewer than 200 words what makes them brilliant.
You can even nominate yourself.
