Cookery Schools In The Limelight As The British Cookery School Awards Open For Entries
Britain's
biggest awards scheme dedicated to UK cookery schools, the British Cookery
School Awards, is open for 2014 entries. The organisers are calling for all
cookery schools to be acknowledged for the important role they play in driving
Britain's passion for cooking good, homemade food.
With more
than 800 cookery schools now operating in the UK, the British Cookery School
Awards 2014 - sponsored by Kenwood - honour all those excellent cookery schools
across the nation that go above and beyond to deliver a first class cookery
school experience. Other sponsors include Lakeland, Braun, Maldon Salt, Premier
Foods and Delicious magazine.
Now in its
third year, the awards have gone from strength to strength, attracting
participants from a cross section of schools, some small and specialist, others
catering to professional development and running large scale courses at
multiple venues. This year for the first
time, the awards will also include a category for online cookery schools and
also introduce categories that will recognise the efforts of cookery
departments in secondary schools and higher educational institutions.
As well as
encouraging cookery schools from across the UK to enter themselves into the
awards, cookery school fans can also put forward their "People's
Choice" suggestions. This
additional award is an opportunity for the public to nominate their favourite
cookery school. If you've had amazing culinary training experience, received
help to change or improve the way you cook, or have been provided with
inspiration to create gastronomic delights then the British Cookery School
Awards want to hear from you.
To nominate
your favourite British cookery school just email the name of the school to
peopleschoice@britishcookeryschoolawards.co.uk by Monday 8th September. You can
also submit your nomination via Twitter using the #bcsapeopleschoice
The judging
panel will again be headed up by Nigel Barden, all round "foodie"
expert and the food and drink presenter on BBC Radio 2's Simon Mayo drivetime
show. Nigel will be joined by Delicious magazine editor Karen Barnes, Kenwood's
Development Chef Martin Johns, Premier Foods Developmental Chef Anthony Warner
and Guy Lincoln, senior lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University's Centre of
Hospitality and Retailing Management.
