Chef Jamie's Blog

Hello all. Hope you are all having a nice holiday.

Just thought I would drop a quick note to you all to let you know about how the street food theme days are doing in the secondary schools. If you don’t know about it, where you been, all the kids are talking about it!!

Build a Burger day is going from strength to strength. Last time we did it we sold out, selling over 150 in half an hour, plus the fab sticky BBQ ribs as well.

Then we tried the Mexican theme at The Covent in Grays, and at Redden court. These too were very popular with the children, Salsa music blaring out all lunchtime and a great meal deal consisting of nachos, tacos, and fajitas; all this for £2.00. Great value for money and a brilliant atmosphere.

Finally a taste of the Caribbean hit St Edwards school in Romford on the last week of term. All I can say is Move over Levi Roots, Chef Jamie is in the house ha-ha, Curried Goat, rice and peas, and Jerk chicken Combo once again all for £2.00. We even served up Lamb and Vegetable Patties if you wanted the complete Caribbean experience. Once again filled the school hall with Reggae music all lunchtime, Loved it!!!!

We will continue with the theme days for the rest of year so just watch out for the poster for when it will be coming to your school.

More exciting news for next month, we will be filming live one of our “Lets Get Cooking” events that we do in the Primary schools with a couple of guests from the big screen. Wallace and Gromit will be joining us on the 8th and 9th May in schools in Havering, and Thurrock. Locations are a secret for now, but watch this space for the film premiere.

For daily information on where and what I am doing please feel free to follow me on Twitter @chefjamie1

Well that’s all for now.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday see you all next term.
