Scotland's Suzanne Duncan has been named Britain's school chef of the year for 2010 following a cook-off final in Sheffield.
Suzanne, aged 39, works for North Ayrshire Council at Irvine Royal Academy and pipped 10 other finalists with her menu of Turkey Kebabs with Summer Salsa accompanied by a Mini Yogurt Dip and Flat Bread followed by a dessert of Strawberry Cupcake and Milkshake.
She won her place in the final after coming out on top in the Scotland and North of England Region of the competition organised by the Local Authority Caterers' Association and sponsored Nestle Professional.
A school cook for eight years, Suzanne doesn't confine her culinary activities to the school kitchen. The mother of three turns out novelty and wedding cakes at home, plus home-made jams and preserves that sell well at local craft fairs.

This year for the first time the competition included an award for the best marketing table - the presentation supporting an entry that explains the inspiration, a bit about the ingredients and how the food can be promoted in schools.
The winner was Elizabeth Bourebonnneaux, who works at Dickens Heath Community School for Solihull Catering Services. Her competrition dishes were Spicy Chicken Curry folllowed by Chocolate Shortbread Delight.
The final took place at Sheffield City College on May 11-12 where the juding was led by Steve Oram, development chef with competition sponsor Nestle Professional.
This annual competition puts the preparation, cooking, creativity and presentation skills of school chefs to the test with each entrant required to produce, in just one and a half hours, a healthy balanced two-course meal comprising of a main course and dessert that would appeal to 11-year-olds in school.
