Abstract
After its launch in 2014, The Big School Bake Off has returned and organisers Unilever Food Solutions, and LACA are calling for entries from school cooks and chefs across the UK & Ireland for the 2015 competition.

The competition is designed to recognise and reward talent and passion in school kitchens. It attracted over 100 entries in its first year from school caterers across the country. Expert judges selected 18 entrants to take part in semi-finals at the LACA conference.

Sarah Medlicott, kitchen manager at Torbay School in Paignton was eventually crowned Big School Bake Off Winner 2014 after three intense heats and the final.

Sarah said: “I was absolutely thrilled to be crowned Big School Bake Off Winner. I’ll definitely be entering again in a bid to retain my title.”

James Allred, channel marketing manager, Unilever Food Solutions said: “We were delighted with the standard of entries we received in the competition’s first year. This year we want it to be even bigger and better.

“Baking is a great way to get the whole school involved in cooking. Not only does it get the school caterers using their key skills, it also encourages children to take a greater interest in cooking and the food they eat.

“These past twelve months have been challenging for school caterers. The Big School Bake Off competition celebrates their enthusiasm and commitment and demonstrates to the whole industry what fantastic talent and passion there is in our school kitchens.”
