CULINARY EXPERTISE

expertise

While you might think that the role of our Chefs is primarily to provide catered foods for special occasions, their involvement in school food service is more vital and far-reaching. Their culinary expertise, coupled with their kitchen savvy, has been a key element in our initiative to offer trendy, wholesome meals.

Their collaborative work with our purchasing team and dietitians has delivered innovative concepts like Food Fusion and Wellness Wednesday with endless new recipes and taste combinations for students to explore.

Our team of culinary experts and chefs, led by Myra Fink and Guy Quang, are always on the go! They spend time in schools working closely with cafeteria staff, helping to refine and streamline cooking processes and kitchen procedures. Hands-on training presented by our team of chefs includes food-preparation techniques, safe food handling, and service-line merchandising strategies.
