ominations are coming in thick and fast for the 2013 EDUcatering Excellence Awards and it is always inspiring to hear about what you all do to ensure that children in the UK are fed a nutritious and tasty meal every school day. I have had some people contact me for advice on how to write a good entry, so before the nominations close on 28


th June,


EDUcatering Award winner Arnold Fewell has provided his top tips. Do you think spell check


might be in that list? It seems trivial, but is so important in showing that you care about the nomination.


Winning an EDUcatering Award might be a wonderful personal recognition from the industry, but it can also be a fantastic marketing tool, as shown in Reading. Colin McIntosh, winner of 2012 Local Authority Caterer of the Year, tells me in this month’s Big Interview about how his EDUcatering Award


helped to attract media attention and bring the issue of school meals to public attention. You can submit your nomination at www.educateringawards.co.uk. Also this month, Jane Renton takes some time away from school meals and looks at food provision in children’s care homes and foster homes. Let’s Get Cooking, the parent/child cookery programme run by the Children’s Food Trust, is running pilot schemes for care and foster parents and children to encourage bonding and improve healthy eating in these settings. You can read her experiences on page 18.


With one in 100 people now diagnosed with coeliac disease, I have been investigating


whether or not school caterers should be looking at providing more gluten-free options in their catering service. Some big high street restaurants


have made the move to provide


gluten-free menus, so perhaps now is the time for schools to do the same. You can fi nd out more about this on page 40.


We’ve got a guest contributor this month. School food advisor Lindsay Graham examines the European Health 2020 policy and school meals in Italy on page 14, while our regular contributors Karen Fewell and Pat Fellows talk about the issues of the day on pages 58 and 66. Happy reading!

We want to hear from you!
