1 Jamie s Home Cooking Skills Competition Guide This guide outlines everything teachers and students need to know to make sure they are in with the chance of winning! Food Revolution Day The theme for this year's competition is centred around Food Revolution Day on the 16th May Food Revolution Day is a chance for people who love food to come together to share information, talents and resources; to pass on their knowledge and highlight the world s food issues. All around the globe, people will work together to make a difference. Food Revolution Day 2014 is all about getting children and young people excited about food. We want to inspire change in people s food habits and celebrate the importance of cooking good food, raising awareness of how it affects our health and happiness. We believe that it all starts with getting kids and young people around the world food smart. Food Revolution Day is open to anyone in the world who wants to take the steps towards getting educated about food Competition Brief What do students need to do to enter? Students need to design, plan and cook a meal for a specific scenario from the three options given (below). The meal should include at least two dishes or courses, and include details of a drink to accompany the food. Students should think about the specific requirements of the scenario and show explicitly in the meal design how they have catered for these requirements. For example, they could show how they ve catered for the specific dietary requirements of the type of people that would be attending, how they ve sourced locally grown food, or how they ve taken risks or issues with the venue into account when planning the menu. This year we d like to see learners across the UK really embrace the ethos of Food Revolution Day and base their entries on healthy nutritional ingredients with inspiration for their dishes from around the world.
