Meals fit for a King
A head cook and student from the Isle of Skye, who is now working at one of the country’s top restaurants, were among the stars of Scotland’s School Food Awards.
The Student Chef of the Year Award went to Domhnall Angus Bruce,16, who attended Portree High School on Skye before being recruited for the team at Calum Montgomery’s 3 AA Rosetted Edinbane Lodge, a former Scottish Restaurant of the Year.
Meanwhile, Skye achieved a further distinction when Annette Burfoot, Head Cook at Broadford Primary School, took a Highly Commended accolade.
A Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Dr Lindsay Graham OBE from Inverness, Deputy Chairperson of the Poverty and Inequality Commission and co-founder of International School Meals Day. The citation described her as someone “who has helped transform school meals in Scotland and indeed the across the UK and beyond.”
The awards, presented by the BBC’s Kaye Adams at a black tie dinner at Glasgow Academy (on Thursday 6 February), recognise institutions and individuals who prioritise foodservice and well-being for pupils. They are open to state and private schools.
