Dartmouth Food Festival Announces Funding Boost for Young Chefs

The Dartmouth Food Festival helps student chefs this year. They will cover ingredient costs for the catering course, and this funding will last the entire school year. The festival also plans workshops for the students. Chefs will teach industry skills in those workshops.

Students help each year at the food festival itself, gaining real experience from chefs and food producers. Older kids help younger kids cook at the festival, running sessions in the main cooking tents. Students even powered cooking gear using rowing machines.

Dartmouth Academy teaches food from primary school through secondary school. They emphasize ingredients and healthy eating, and the kids learn real cooking skills. Older students can get a catering qualification, which can open doors to hospitality careers.

Mitch Tonks currently leads the Dartmouth Food Festival, a top event in food circles. It offers workshops and tastings. The festival hosts competitions and cooking demos, highlighting the best food from the South West region.

The principal appreciates the festival’s aid. He thanked them for the ingredient cost subsidy and thinks the workshops are a great idea. Pupils can gain insights into hospitality careers.

The CEO of Education South West is thrilled and likes seeing the festival support young chefs. The collaboration could spark their passion for cooking.

Education South West wants schools to connect locally, and this partnership serves as a brilliant example. Schools working with their communities benefits everyone.
