Abstract
Nikki McNaught of East Ayrshire Council is the 2013 winner of the Scottish School Cook of the Year competition held recently at The Cook School Scotland.
She works at Loudon Academy in Galston and cooked a main course of salmon and pea fishcakes and a dessert of apple strudel.
In second place was Marianne Hendry of Stirling Council; third place went to Wendy McIntosh of Tayside Contracts.
Bill Kennedy, chair of ASSIST, said: “This is the second ASSIST Scottish School Cook of The Year competition and really shows the skill set of caterers within the school meal service across Scotland.”
Organised by ASSIST and sponsored by Muller Wiseman, the country’s local authority facilities management organisation, there were six finalists who had just 90 minutes to prepare a healthy and balanced two-course meal designed to appeal to either primary or secondary school pupils at a cost of £1.50 per meal.
