Organisations representing over 9,000 chefs have volunteered to go into schools during British Food Fortnight to teach children how to cook, signifying the biggest mass movement geared to teaching children about food. This means that British Food Fortnight has already over-taken France’s long-running Semaine du Gout that sends chefs into French schools every October to teach children about the delights of their national cuisine.
