A dedicated team of incredible parents, friends and volunteers created a cookbook to commemorate our school chef, Michael Batoux, who tragically died in the summer of 2020.
The cookbook is filled with a variety of Michael’s popular vegetarian, vegan, meat and fish recipes, accompanied by beautiful photos of his international cuisine.
As well as celebrating Michael’s extraordinary passion for food and inspirational work at Highgate Primary School, any profits from the book will go towards funding cookery classes at school.
Where to buy!
You can buy the cookbook through ScoPay and collect from the school office or it is also available at the following bookshops:
Pickled Pepper Books, Crouch End
The Children’s Bookshop, Muswell Hill
Highgate Bookshop

We were incredibly fortunate to have the brilliant and highly respected Jemima Hetherington as our Stylist and Director of our 2nd photoshoot.
Nuala Sharkey – the wonderful, super talented photographer and stylist for our 3rd photo shoot.
Madeleine Winston – a brilliant photographer, specialising in fitness photography.
Chef Nunzio – the wonderful Head Chef at Citro restaurant, Swain’s Lane.
