With more children now having alternative protein days and many pupils wanting to see more high street inspired options on the menu, QuornPro provides school caterers with a opportunity to deliver on all key drivers: health, sustainability and most importantly taste.
QuornPro menu solutions offer menu planners the chance to adapt different recipes and create tasty child-friendly alternatives that are packed with flavour. Dishes like chilli loaded nachos, burritos and classic comfort dishes, such as hot dogs or sausage and mash, are firm favourites on many school menus.
Paul Jennings, head of culinary at QuornPro, said: “We know that our food choices can create a healthier planet so inspiring more nutritious and sustainable diets with pupils whilst they’re in their habit-forming years is crucial. School caterers have always been ahead of the game on the sustainability agenda with alternative proteins now a staple on menus, both to improve children’s health and as a way to reduce a caterer’s carbon footprint.
“Taste is still the key consideration, and the UK’s increasingly vibrant eating out scene is encouraging younger diners to actively look for more adventurous meals. QuornPro can help school caterers create legendary lunches that that are not only quick and easy to cook from frozen, they are packed with lots of other nutritional benefits too. School chefs will love them as much as the kids will.”
