Abstract
Stocks and sauces supplier Essential Cuisine has released ten vegan and vegetarian recipes for caterers to try out when schools return in September.
According to new research, commissioned by Linda McCartney Foods, 70% of children want to see more vegan and vegetarian meals on their school menu. A poll that quizzed 1,000 children between the ages of 8-16 discovered that 44% of school pupils have tried to reduce meat in their diet and 10% already live a meat-free lifestyle.
The pollsters concluded ‘schools are under more pressure than ever to include more options on the lunch menu.’
