Tasked with highlighting the link “between the foods we eat and our happiness”, nutritionist Kate Taylor and food choice architect, Kenny Tranquille, will host a series of workshops discussing how “drivers of happiness” relate to the foods we eat and impacts our mood.
Taylor said: “Our food choices are directly impacted by our mood and for many of us our mood will impact our food choices. It’s how we manage this circle to fit in with our lifestyle that’s important. Including different foods that can positively impact mood in your diet such as those which are high in fibre, sources of omega 3 fatty acids and contain vitamin D (to name a few) will absolutely help.”
Tranquille added: “I think Just Hospitality’s vision to “eat happy” is a refreshing take on the typical contract catering food programme and that’s why I decided to work with them. There is a real synergy between our companies, both want to deliver food experiences with a healthy and happy focus.”
To “complement” the nutritionist-led workshops, Just Hospitality has also created a new lunch menu that focuses on ingredients that help produce serotonin - the “happy hormone.
Just Hospitality managing director, Dean Kennett, explained: “As contract caterers, we’re feeding our clients the majority of their food for the day. In fact, in some cases we’re delivering breakfast, lunch and dinner, so we feel the onus is on us to keep our food healthy.
“Now we’re going further. It’s not just about how healthy our food is or how balanced it is in calories, it’s also about how it makes you feel, and how we, as caterers, can contribute to clients overall well-being.”
