School catering and school food consultancy

20 06 2008

I’ve recently started working with CaterMap – a company that aims to improve school dinners and school catering. Their achievements are impressive, and they have plenty of testimonials from school caterers.

As a parent with a couple of children in primary school, I have to say that I haven’t been overly impressed with the school food and facilities provided by most schools. Many choose the easy option and use processed ingredients with far too much salt and especially sugar.

I say – get the kids involved. Get them helping in the kitchen and preparing food from an early age. If possible, let them grow a few carrots or whatever. In my experience, children tend to leave food that they’re suspicious of, like ones that they’ve never seen before. But, if they’ve prepared it themselves, they’re willing to give it a try.

Anyway, I fully recommend CaterMap’s school catering consultancy service to any school who want to improve their school catering facilities and school dinners without increasing the cost.
