Jamie Opens School For Dinner Ladies
TV chef Jamie Oliver today called for more funding to improve school meals as he opened the first specialist training kitchen for school dinner ladies.
The Training Kitchen, at High Laver Hall in Essex, aims to improve the skills of school cooks and catering staff in the use of fresh, organic and unprocessed ingredients.
It is the brainchild of Jeanette Orrey, the pioneering dinner lady and school meals policy advisor for the Soil Association, the UK's campaigning and certification organisation for organic food and farming.
