Essential Cuisine supports LACA's 'Marching Back to School' campaign
LACA work to ensure that the investment in school meals is matched by the highest standards of professionalism in education catering.
The organisations new initiative, “Marching Back to School”, has been created to encourage conversations between caterers, school representatives, on site staff and parents to facilitate the return of hot lunches as soon as everyone feels it safe to do so.
The initiative is based on the well-known benefits to children’s attainment and development of eating a balanced diet and the belief that it’s of paramount importance to return to hot meals as soon as possible.
Our team of chefs are constantly working to bring new, inspirational, well-balanced recipe ideas to you - all full of colour, texture and of course flavour with the help of the finest gluten free stock and sauce bases on the market. Our website is full of simple, step-by-step recipes suited to a range of diets, including gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and Halal. We’ve handpicked some of our favourite hot meals for your menu this Spring / Summer, all approved by Nutritionist and Registered Dietician, Dr Sarah Schenker.
