Global Food Trends Guide for School Chefs
Today’s pupils are curious and influenced by global flavours they enjoy on the high street.
Our Global Food Trends Guide has been created to support school chefs in bringing these flavours to life in a practical, engaging way. From street food-inspired dishes to globally recognised comfort foods, the guide showcases how international food trends can be adapted for schools.
Working alongside our senior culinary lead and School Chef of the Year (SCOTY) judge, Louise Wagstaffe, the top three chefs from the 2025 competition have created their own dishes following our inspiring global foods themed tour in Leeds.
