Commenting on the news, Chantelle said: “I’m thrilled to be joining as an ambassador for Chefs in Schools. The work they do, in providing our future society with delicious and nutritious food, is crucially important. I hope to be able to support their work and enable them to go from strength to strength.”
Chefs in Schools is a charity that operates in over 80 schools and feeds up to 30,000 pupils a day. They have a plethora of chefs that support and endorse them as their patrons or trustees, including Thomasina Miers, Yotam Ottolenghi, Henry Dimbleby, Prue Leith and Amelia Freer.

So, watch this space as we’ll be doing lots of creative food education projects for children and kitchen teams, with a focus on sustainability.”
