and maybe the power of Mumsnet can win him over?....

I need help and have approached the Jamie Oliver website for practical advice. Am part of a parent group at school looking to increase the quality of the school meal offering. We've been successful influencing opinion and the guy in charge of catering is on board, but progress is slow.

What we need (and I've asked for) is a Jamie Oliver School Meal plan for a whole academic year, with accompanying recipes. Once we've got that, success is guaranteed!

All we can get from his organisation is a sample menu for two weeks and no recipes......... but we'd be happy to pay for it. Am sure loads of other schools would welcome it with open arms......but all I get is silence from his website.

Can any one else help with ideas....anyone know him and give him a nudge? I know he is busy running restaurants, overseeing cooking schools, campaigning on nutrition, making TV programmes here & abroad, and raising a family but really......!

what about the Dinner Lady's cookbook that came out as a result of the show?

our school does a 4 week rotating menu plan

so 4 weeks worth of meals would be all you'd get not a whole year's

well why can't you just take the 2 week plan and use it as your starting point/inspiration

38 weeks of menu plans & recipes is asking a lot i think

Lulumaam · 07/04/2010 14:47

agree with compo

and our school also has a 4 week rotating menu, you won't get 33 weeks of recipes

YABU

in a nice way
