INTRODUCTION
Leading the hospitality profession by example - shaping its future through education
Founded in 1980, the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts is Britain’s leading professional association of Head Chefs, Pastry Chefs,
Restaurant Managers and suppliers. Its objectives are primarily focused on the education and training of young people in the
hospitality industry through the provision of career opportunities; recognising and rewarding talent and skill; and raising
standards and awareness of food, food provenance, cooking and service. The Academy is immensely honoured to have His
Royal Highness The Prince of Wales as its Patron.
The Academy is recognised as one of the industry’s leading voices and regarded as an authority on a broad range of issues
relating to its expertise which includes education and training, employment, health and hygiene. Working with suppliers of top
quality culinary products is also vital to the Academy in order to maintain the high standards to which we are committed.
Members are united in the common purpose of supporting the future of the industry through thorough and extensive
education and training. To maintain this status and influence as a significant working association, members are expected to
invest their time in the Academy’s various activities.
Membership of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts is open, upon application, to professionals aged 30 and over, dependent
upon final approval of the Selection Committee. Members can be of any nationality working in Britain. Plenary Meetings are
held five times per year for Academicians and Associate Members. Since its inauguration, membership of the Academy has

Chefs Adopt A School (Charity No. 1087567)
Founded in 1990, Chefs Adopt a School is a national charity which teaches children – in a holistic way – about food, food
provenance, food growing and the environment, healthy eating, nutrition, hygiene and cookery as well as the impact of food
our lives in sessions delivered by professional chefs.
Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship
The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship is a three year vocational course aimed at aspiring young chefs aged
between 16 and 19 years old. It is a pioneering approach to deliver a comprehensive training to young chefs whilst enabling
them to work in the finest establishments in the UK. The first RACA Chefs Apprenticeship – The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts
Specialised Chefs Course at Bournemouth & Poole College – has been running since 1989 and is a three year block release
programme. The second RACA Chefs Apprenticeship is a day release programme at University West London which has been
running since 1994. The third RACA Chefs Apprenticeship, also day release, began at Westminster Kingsway College in
September 2012.
Annual Awards of Excellence
Begun in 1983, the AAE is the most prestigious award available to young people in the hospitality industry today, recognising
and encouraging the most talented up and coming Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Waiters. Open to young people aged between 20
5
and 26, the purpose of the Awards is to inspire and encourage them to achieve the highest possible standards in their chosen
profession – Kitchen, Pastry or Service – and offer them clear guidelines for success in their career.
Master of Culinary Arts
Launched in 1987 as the Meilleur Ouvrier de Grande Bretagne (MOGB), the Master of Culinary Arts is held every four years and
rewards ability and achievement of the highest degree in Culinary Skills, Pastry and Restaurant Management & Service to those
over the age of 26. Seen as the ultimate accolade awarded for outstanding craftsmanship to Chefs, Pastry Chefs and
Restaurant Managers throughout the United Kingdom, the MCA is a lifetime achievement.
Mutton Renaissance
Conceived in 2003 by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and officially launched in November 2004, Mutton Renaissance is
the campaign to restore high quality mutton to the menu whilst helping British sheep farmers find a market for their older
animals. The rewards are more than just a great product on a plate; it unites the whole chain between chef, butcher, supplier
and farmer. The campaign is run jointly by the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and the Pastoral Alliance.
FEAST (Food Education At School Today)
Started in 2007 by Chefs Adopt a School, FEAST is the campaign to improve the amount of food education and practical
cookery in Primary Schools.
Other Activities
Aside from the above mentioned principal activities, the Academy participates in numerous other events and activities which
reflect its aims and objectives, as well as maintaining links with other organisations that share the common goal of securing the
future of the industry.
Funding
The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts is a not for profit organisation (Registered 210SA under the Friendly Societies Act 1974),
whilst Chefs Adopt A School is a registered charity (No. 1087567). The Academy is privately funded by membership fees,
sponsorship and donations without which it would not exist nor continue to make a difference to the lives of so many young
people and their future in the industry. The Academy is grateful to all its sponsors and members, who give their time so
generously, which allow the work to continue.
BRIEF HISTORY
The origins of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts lie in the Académie Culinaire de France, an organisation founded in 1883 by
Joseph Favre, a French chemist. The remit of the Académie Culinaire de France was to collect and catalogue all the classical
recipes – as the Académie Française does with literature and language. The British branch of the Académie was born out of the
Club 9, a group of highly regarded Chefs des Cuisines who met monthly to mull over the culinary business of the day. They were
Michel Bourdin, Albert Roux, John Huber, Anton Mosimann, Guy Mouilleron, Peter Kromberg, Richard Shepherd, Eugene
Kauffeler and Louis Virot. The Académie Culinaire de France Filiale de Grande Bretagne was launched at The Connaught on 6th
December 1980, with Michel Bourdin as Founder President and Albert Roux as Vice President. The early days of the British
Académie were made possible by immense support from Moët & Chandon and its CEO Patrick Forbes. The twenty five

ROYAL ACADEMY OF CULINARY ARTS CHEFS APPRENTICESHIP
The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship is a three year vocational course aimed at aspiring young chefs aged
between 16 and 19 years old. It is a pioneering approach to deliver comprehensive training to young chefs whilst enabling
them to work in the finest establishments in the UK. The first RACA Chefs Apprenticeship – The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts
Specialised Chefs Course at Bournemouth & Poole College – has been running since 1989 and is a three year block release
programme. The second RACA Chefs Apprenticeship is a day release programme at the University of West London which has
been running since 1994. A third day release apprenticeship programme began at Westminster Kingsway College in September
2012.
The point of difference between an RACA Chefs Apprenticeship and a routine apprenticeship is the standard of employer and
establishment at which the apprentice is employed during their training, as well as the ‘add-ons’ which form part of the
curriculum. In addition to the standard qualifications undertaken on the course, at the end of the three years apprentices sit
the RACA Final Exam and, if successful, will achieve the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Diploma.
The Philosophy
The RACA is widely recognised as the premier chefs’ association in the UK; it is well respected by the industry and other
professional bodies and, most importantly, it is synonymous with excellence in training. Excellence is sought in all aspects of
the RACA Chefs Apprenticeship: the apprentices; the lecturers; the colleges; the employers; and the course content.
The RACA Chefs Apprenticeship is rigorous and challenging; it equips its apprentices with a wide range of in-depth skills
underpinned by sound theoretical knowledge and it aims to provide employers with the best trained chef apprentices in the
industry. The curriculum is cutting edge, built on traditional foundations whilst taking in modern developments, drawn from an
internationally renowned body of knowledge.
An equally important part of the apprenticeship is the pastoral care given to the apprentices during the three years. Each
college undertaking to run the RACA Chefs Apprenticeship must appoint a tutor whose role is to fully support the apprentices
throughout their training in both their work and personal lives.
Creating the leaders of tomorrow
This programme of study aims to develop the individual in the practical, theoretical and intellectual aspects of food and the
hospitality business in order to lay the foundations for a career as an active practitioner and ambassador of the Royal Academy
of Culinary Arts. It aims to turn out young chefs whose objective is to gain sustainable employment and act as role models for
the next generation. Such a role carries responsibilities which are recognised across the global industry, as such individuals
possess the talent required to work in this international profession.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF CULINARY ARTS SPECIALISED CHEFS COURSE AT BOURNEMOUTH AND POOLE COLLEGE
Winner of Beacon and National Training Awards and a Centre of Vocational Excellence
Established in 1989, the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Specialised Chefs Course is a three year
Advanced Apprenticeship offering training and experience in all aspects of professional cookery. This
course is a block release programme with students spending one term in each year at the college and
the rest of their time in the employ of an Academician, mostly in London.
The Specialised Chefs Course leads to City & Guilds NVQ Levels 2 and 3 Professional Cookery and Level 2 in Food Service; ABC
Pastry Level 3; CIEH Level 2 and 3 Awards in Food Safety in Catering; as well as the British Institute of Innkeeping Certificate in
Drugs Awareness. Functional Skills in Number and Communication are added for apprentices where necessary. In addition,
first year students receive presentations on the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts, personal presentation, money management,
personal safety and sexual health, a half-day visit from the ARK Foundation, as well as a visit to both front and back of house
operations at The Dorchester in London. At the end of the three years apprentices take a six hour practical examination, set by
the Academy, which they must pass in order to receive their Royal Academy of Culinary Arts diploma.
The course is led by David Boland (Fellow of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts), Senior Lecturer at Bournemouth and Poole
College and managed by Jenny Brett and Barry Dawson, with Apprentices being reviewed and monitored both at work and
college every 10/12 weeks.
Awards
In 2000 the Course was recognised by City & Guilds in Hospitality & Catering and granted a Beacon Award. In 2001 the training
on the programme reached all the objectives to win a prestigious National Training Award and we are very honoured to be
allowed to continue to use the Training Award logo on our literature and advertising. In addition, Bournemouth & Poole
College is the proud holder of a COVE - Centre of Vocational Excellence - in Culinary Arts.
In 1998 Daniel Guest, who trained with Michel Bourdin at The Connaught, London, was the first Specialised Chef graduate to
win the coveted European Young Chef Apprentice of the Year competition and then in 2008 another graduate, Adam Bowden
who trained with John Williams MBE at The Ritz, London, also won this great award.
See pp. 33-37 for a full list of Graduates
ROYAL ACADEMY OF CULINARY ARTS CHEFS APPRENTICESHIP AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST LONDON
Begun in 1993 and re-launched in September 2008, University of West London’s Royal
Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship is a three year Apprenticeship Scheme
for 16-19 year olds operating on a day-release basis with some of the assessment taking
place in industry.
Students learn a range of practical skills in Kitchen Larder and Pastry and will achieve a NVQ level 2 and 3 in Professional
Cookery and Pastry, as well as their key skills in Communication, Information Technology and Numeracy. The programme also

receive talks and demonstrations from visiting guest lecturers as well as tutored visits to specialist farms and suppliers, all of
which form an intrinsic element of this top level apprenticeship programme. Apprentices are also encouraged to work with a
local school in conjunction with Chefs Adopt a School. The course concludes with a Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Diploma
Examination in Professional Cookery.
This scheme was considered to be a model of good practice by the OFSTED inspectorate. The revised programme is steered
and monitored by Michael Coaker and externally verified by Keith Podmore.

ANNUAL AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE
Honorary President of the Awards:

Chairmen of Kitchen:
Chairman of Pastry:
Chairman of Service:
Heston Blumenthal OBE
John Williams MBE
Martyn Nail & Adam Byatt
Yolande Stanley MCA
Sergio Rebecchi
The AAE is the most prestigious award available to young people in the hospitality industry
today, recognising and encouraging the most talented up and coming Chefs, Pastry Chefs
and Waiters. It is the only award to cover all three categories of Kitchen, Pastry and
Service. Since it began in 1983 almost 480 young people have achieved the award, setting
them off on highly successful career paths.
The purpose of the Awards is to inspire and encourage young people to achieve the highest
possible standards in their chosen profession – Kitchen, Pastry or Service – and to offer
them clear guidelines for success in their career. To participate in the awards is a great
learning experience. Good basic skills are the essential cement with which young,
ambitious members of the catering industry can build a rewarding career, while more
taxing tasks help to identify the best cooks and waiters of today who will become the
leaders of tomorrow.
As well as a competition, the AAE is an examination; all or none of the candidates can
achieve the award depending on their ability to attain the standard of excellence set by the
judges. All those who successfully reach this standard will win the AAE. In addition the winning candidate who scores the
most marks in each section is named the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Young Chef, Young Pastry Chef and Young Waiter of
the Year.
The awards are open to young people aged between 20 and 26, who are currently working
full-time, in the UK, as Chefs, Pastry Chefs or Waiters. Selection is based on written essays and
(for chefs) a recipe and the awards test a variety of skills within each discipline:
Chefs can be tested on a variety of food preparation and cookery tasks from making a salad to
butchery skills and must demonstrate that they can prepare a variety of dishes including soups
and dessert and a piece of their own free interpretation.
Pastry Chefs will be expected to demonstrate the ability to work with many different kinds of
materials including detailed chocolate and sugar work and a creative presentation piece,
whilst having an excellent grounding in baking and plated desserts.
Waiters are tested on their knowledge and skills in a wide range of food and beverage service
aspects including product knowledge, technical service skills, interpersonal skills and
teamwork.

Inaugurated in 1987, The Master of Culinary Arts (MCA) is held every four years and is seen to be the ultimate accolade,
awarded in recognition of outstanding craftsmanship, for Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Restaurant Managers in the UK. Inspired by
Michel Bourdin, then Chef de Cuisine at The Connaught and supported by Albert and Michel Roux OBEs the MCA was based on
the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) and was originally known as the Meilleur Ouvrier de Grande Bretagne.
The MCA represents the very best in craftsmanship for cooking, pastry and service. It is a priority in the Academy’s continuing
efforts to improve the standards of food, cooking and service while, at the same time, raising the professional status of chefs,
pastry chefs and restaurant managers. Winners of the MCA carry the title for life and become role models for future
generations. Through the MCA, we can encourage young people to aspire to be the best, thus securing a better future for the
hospitality industry.
The MCA is open to Chefs, Pastry Chefs and Waiters/Restaurant Managers aged over the age of 26 who are currently employed
at a senior level in the industry, in the UK and who have at least 5 years working experience in their chosen discipline.
Candidates must qualify through demanding entry requirements, regional Quarter and Semi-Finals, and Finals held at Le
Gavroche for Restaurant Management and University of West London for the Culinary Skills and Pastry. This is followed by
one of the industry’s most prestigious award ceremonies. The judges are all Academicians, MCAs and significant professionals
from within the industry. The MCA is a mark of achievement, not a competition. The judges may select all or none of the
candidates depending upon the pass mark.
“This prestigious award is based on perfection. The judges, experienced industry professionals and many MCA holders themselves,
are looking for candidates to deliver the highest standards under the extremes of pressure that working in the catering industry
demands on a day to day basis. It is for this reason that only the best and, therefore, only a handful of candidates ever achieve this
standard. It takes real courage to enter the MCA and
exceptional skill to reach the Finals. The tough judging criteria
should not deter any future prospective entrants for the
awards. Winning an MCA often marks a turning point in the
career of a Chef, Pastry Chef or Restaurant Manager, elevating
confidence and gaining respect from other culinary
professionals.”
Brian J. Turner CBE, President of the Royal Academy of
Culinary Arts
For the first time in 2005, the winners of the Master of
Culinary Arts were presented to His Royal Highness The
Prince of Wales at Clarence House. Their audience lasted
over one hour when The Prince enthusiastically engaged in
an inspired and meaningful discussion about the industry.
See p. 26 for a full list of Master of Culinary Arts Winners.
The Academy is very grateful to the current sponsors of the MCA:

MUTTON RENAISSANCE CAMPAIGN
In partnership with the Pastoral Alliance
What is the Mutton Renaissance?
The Mutton Renaissance is the campaign to restore high quality mutton to the menu whilst
helping British sheep farmers to find a market for their older animals.
How did the Mutton Renaissance start?
The campaign is the brainchild of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales who, following
Foot and Mouth 2001 wanted to find a way to help sheep farmers in the event of a similar
disaster occurring again. The Mutton Renaissance was launched at The Ritz, London in November 2004.
Who runs the Mutton Renaissance?
The campaign is run by the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and the Pastoral Alliance and is sponsored by
EBLEX Ltd and Hybu Cig Cymru (Meat Promotion Wales) (HCC).
What is mutton?
Mutton is the meat of a sheep over two years old. Often from unfinished cull ewes and slaughtered in line
with religious beliefs most mutton is sold to the ethnic meat market, is lean and inexpensive.
What is Renaissance Mutton?
The mutton promoted by the Mutton Renaissance is high quality mutton from animals that have been
carefully selected, finished and processed to achieve optimum flavour and an excellent eating experience. To maintain this
high standard a specification has been developed which details what qualifies as Renaissance Mutton and the standards to
which it must be produced. The Renaissance Mutton season runs from October to March, when British lamb is out of season.
The Renaissance Mutton Specification

Renaissance Mutton must be produced on a Farm Assured farm.

Eligible sheep must be over two years of age. To be confirmed by either documentation or dentition.

Eligible sheep must be either female or castrates. Entire males are not acceptable.

All eligible sheep must be traceable to the farm where they have been reared.

There are no breed specifications.

Finishing diet must be forage-based: grass; hay; silage; turnips; swedes etc., augmented by farm produced straight
cereals (barley, oats etc.) when necessary.

Carcase classifications of E, U, R or O for conformation and fat classes 2L, 3L or 3H are required.

Carcase or cuts must be matured for at least two weeks.
How does the Mutton Renaissance work?
The campaign is guided by a management committee (The Executive) consisting of representatives from the Academy, the
Pastoral Alliance, EBLEX Ltd, HCC and HD Communications; and a steering committee (The Board) consisting of representatives
of all parts of the supply chain: farmers; processors; butchers; and chefs. The Pastoral Alliance look after the agricultural side
and the Academy encourages their chef members to put mutton on the menu whilst we all work hard to bring together all
parts of the supply chain. In order to achieve this, the Mutton Renaissance Club was launched in February 2006, of which His
Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is Patron. The purpose of the club is to promote the campaign and consolidate the supply
chain; this is mainly done through the Mutton Renaissance Club Open Events which are held around the country during the
season.
What effect has the campaign had on the mutton market so far?
Since the launch in 2004 the campaign has had a small but significant impact on the market. At the end of 2006 and updated at
the beginning of 2008 a report by David Croston OBE (formerly CEO of Eblex) showed exactly this: ‘On the basis of the 2006
report the potential retail market was estimated to be in the order of 846 tonnes of which 423 tonnes came from businesses
involved with the Mutton Renaissance campaign. The revised estimate from the 2008 survey suggests that involvement appears to
have risen by about 21% to 511 tonnes.’ Each week we hear from new farmers producing mutton, restaurants serving it and
others who want to support us. The progress is slow but steady and we are confident that the campaign is really making a
difference.
Currently, the campaign is undergoing a revamp to take it into its second decade, including a new and interactive website.

Delivering Food Education to children hungry to learn
Chefs Adopt a School is a national charity which teaches children – in a holistic way - about food: where it comes from; how to
cook it; why we need it; and its impact on the environment. We aim to instil knowledge and understanding about health,
nutrition, hygiene, cooking skills, and the enjoyment and importance of cookery and eating together. We believe that every
child should be taught about the importance of food and the significance it has in our lives. We love to cook and we think
tasting the food is very important too. For a truly beneficial experience we don’t think you can beat young people growing and
preparing their own food and then sitting down to eat it together.
Chefs Adopt a School is delivered, on a voluntary basis, by members of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and – thanks to our
generous sponsors – by our staff team. The sessions take place in the classroom and range in content from the four tastes and
the five senses, to advanced practical cookery.
The charity reaches over 21,000 children every year and we work
with primary schools, secondary schools, SEN schools, hospital
schools, pupil referral units, sports centres and food festivals.
In February 2010 CAAS celebrated its 20th anniversary with a session
at the first ‘adopted’ school, attended by a host of the country’s
best and most recognisable chefs, as well as Their Royal Highnesses
The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. During his speech
The Prince of Wales commented that “Chefs Adopt a School is the
model that should be used for the future”.
EVALUATION
We believe that the work we do is incredibly important and that we make a difference. We have been independently evaluated
twice: by the Food Policy Centre at City University in 2008 (the first academically robust evaluation of any cooking in school
initiative in the UK); and by Genecon in 2010. Both reported the impact we have on child cooking confidence, uptake of
vegetables and awareness of a healthy diet. Both reports are published on our website: www.chefsadoptaschool.org.uk

HOW CHEFS ADOPT A SCHOOL WORKS
Chefs Adopt a School has devised a course of one session per term, three sessions per year, to the same year group. When the
charity was first started we created a lesson to teach children the basics of food and cookery that we could deliver without the
need for cooking facilities. All that is required is the classroom, the children and the chef. The Taste & Sensory session remains
the first lesson always delivered by Chefs Adopt a School. The subsequent sessions should focus on practical cookery and
maybe even some learning outside the classroom. Visits to farms, food producers and/or a professional kitchen are all
invaluable experiences. A recent addition to the work of Chefs Adopt a School has been to pilot a programme of restaurant
service skills to address the diminishing food culture in schools where many children do not choose to sit at a table and eat
their food. We have enlisted the expertise of our Royal Academy Restaurant Managers inspired by Michael Newton Young
MCA and Sarah Howard to create interactive programmes which have so far proved a hit with the children.
OBJECTIVES OF THE CHEFS ADOPT A SCHOOL SESSIONS





To introduce children and young people to real, fresh food through an animated approach to tasting
To encourage children to consider food more closely and learn about food provenance
To teach basic food preparation skills
To encourage an understanding of the importance of healthy eating
To offer an insight into the industry
13
WHY CHEFS ADOPT A SCHOOL AND FOOD EDUCATION IS SO IMPORTANT
Chefs Adopt a School recognises that a child’s development is crucial for their future health and well-being. The programme
has adopted an innovative approach to tackling health inequalities by giving children the knowledge to improve their own
health and well-being, as well as supporting parents and teachers to embed healthy eating messages in school and at home.
Respondents to the FEAST report agreed that poor diet and nutrition and can lead to lower concentration levels. Chefs Adopt a
School aims to change children’s perception of food so they understand the roots of healthy eating and how food can impact
on all aspects of their life for the better.
Chefs Adopt a School can be integrated into all school subjects such as numeracy and literacy, mathematics and science – to
name a few – to hugely positive effect. The programme has witnessed countless children who have developed significantly
with the aid of food and cookery as a vehicle for the delivery of other subjects. The programme should not be seen in isolation;
it is part of a ‘whole school’ approach to healthy eating which embeds healthy eating messages into all aspects of the school
curriculum by working in partnership with teachers, school cooks and parents.
Looking ahead, not only does food education and practical cookery skill young people for life, it can also increase their career
options. Schools involved in Chefs Adopt a School have the benefit of their children being taught by experienced chefs with a
passion for imparting their knowledge.
Food Holds Communities Together – The Long Term Benefits of Chefs Adopt a School
There is a growing body of evidence to support the theory that significant savings can be made to the NHS budget – and also
have a positive effect on the national economy with a reduction in the many days presently lost to illness – by improving our
nation’s food and diet awareness.
Almost 18% of children aged between 2 and 15 years old have grown clinically obese in the last decade. If this trend continues,
one fifth of boys and one third of girls will be obese by 2020. Obesity increases the risk of a range of chronic diseases,
particularly Type 2 diabetes, stroke and coronary heart disease. The NHS costs that will be attributable to overweight and
obesity are projected to double to £10 billion per year by 2050. The wider costs to society and business are estimated to reach
£49.9 billion per year.
Chefs Adopt a School believes this can be redressed by increasing education and practical learning in order to give young
people the knowledge, practical skills and ability to be responsible for their well-being and to adopt a healthier lifestyle
through informed choice. In this current climate, leaving the teaching of food, nutrition and cookery until secondary school is
too late. More needs to be done and can be done much earlier at primary school when future eating habits are first formed.
Sitting around a communal dining table gives us not only physical nutrition, but spiritual wellbeing as well. What we eat can
give us a sensory dimension of culture, time and social behaviour. If all children from an early age learnt about the food chain,
from farm to plate, this would lead to the next generation of better informed people able to cook and, therefore, a better
society both in terms of health and social welfare.
THE TOP TEN BENEFITS OF CHEFS ADOPT A SCHOOL, COMPILED FROM THE THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS AND CHILDREN WE
WORK WITH EVERY YEAR
1.
Children gain a fundamental life skill – how to safely prepare healthy dishes
they enjoy eating.
2.
CAAS allows children the opportunity to feel, smell, taste food that they may
not have been introduced to before, therefore, opening and discovering a new
world of foods.
3.
Children gain vital knowledge and understanding of important concepts such
as healthy lifestyle, agriculture, environment and seasonality of food.
4.
CAAS enhances and promotes the practice and social behaviour of sharing food
whilst seated round a table.
5.
Develops team work and communication skills through preparing food in groups
and bringing everything together to form a finished dish.
6.
Enables children to overcome the fear factor of trying new foods, both through
growing and preparing the food and also through the encouragement from an
outside expert – the professional chef is Chefs Adopt a School’s special
ingredient.
7.
Highlights to children and young people the many varied career options offered by the hospitality industry.
14
8.
Offers a fantastic opportunity for children and parents to work together, through joint workshops.
9.
Effective cross curricular learning - Chefs Adopt a School sessions bridge a range of other subjects: mathematics; science;
languages; geography; and politics to name a few.
10. Ignites children’s natural instinct and enthusiasm is preparing and cooking foods.
THE FEAST CAMPAIGN – FOOD EDUCATION AT SCHOOLS TODAY
Started in 2007 by Chefs Adopt a School, FEAST is the campaign to improve the amount of food education and practical
cookery in Primary Schools. The campaign began with the publication of the FEAST report – our investigation into the current
state of food education in primary schools. At the same time as the FEAST report (available on the Chefs Adopt a School
website), Chefs Adopt a School was evaluated by City University which confirmed the benefit of our sessions and proved that
CAAS would be a powerful future model for food education. We believe that the current approach to food education needs to
be transformed so that it has a secure and definitive place on the curriculum for 5-11 years and beyond. Our workshops
integrate with many key syllabus subjects such as history, geography, mathematics, science, politics, English and other
languages. As well as integrating with so many other subjects on the curriculum, good, healthy eating habits are formed for
life and make a precious contribution to children’s learning potential and ultimately, therefore, the health of the nation.
Plan For Growth
The next step of the FEAST Campaign is the Plan For Growth: in order to demonstrate the importance of food education in
schools the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts is going to roll out an army of chefs to deliver the CAAS programme across the UK.
Through a network of organisations within the sector we will recruit chefs from the Food and Hospitality industry to take part
in CAAS for a minimum of five years (and hopefully for the foreseeable future). The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs
Adopt a School team will train these chefs, via a series of seminars across the country to deliver the CAAS programme. With
our help, these newly trained chefs will then each ‘adopt’ their local primary school and deliver food education sessions to the
children once a term, during each academic year.
The School Food Plan
The School Food Plan was launched last July 2013 as a result of collaboration between Michael Gove, Secretary of State for
Education and Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent. The Plan is “about good food and happiness. It is about the pleasures of
growing, understanding, cooking and eating proper food. It is also about the academic performance of our children and the
health of our nation”. Chefs Adopt a School is on the expert panel of the DfE’s School Food Plan and is very much actively
supporting its ethos and agenda of promoting school food uptake and teaching children about food. CAAS has also played a
major role in the Expert Panel for the proposals to include food education and cookery to the national curriculum for 5 year
olds and upwards from September 2014.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF CULINARY ARTS CHEFS APPRENTICESHIP GRADUATES
The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship is a three year vocational course aimed at aspiring young chefs aged
between 16 and 19 years old. It is a pioneering approach to deliver a comprehensive training to young chefs whilst enabling them to
work in the finest establishments in the UK. The first RACA Chefs Apprenticeship – The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Specialised
Chefs Course at Bournemouth & Poole College – has been running since 1989 and is a three year block release programme. The second
RACA Chefs Apprenticeship is a day release programme at the University of West London which has been running since 1994. A third
apprenticeship will begin at Westminster Kingsway College in September 2012
The point of difference between an RACA Chefs Apprenticeship and a routine apprenticeship is the standard of employer and
establishment at which the apprentice is employed during their training; as well as the ‘add-ons’ which form part of the curriculum.
In addition to the standard qualifications undertaken on the course, at the end of the three years, apprentices sit the RACA Final Exam
and if successful will achieve the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Diploma.
