The main ingredient is adaptation. The menu is not unique every day. “You do not supply corn to the elderly,” Michel told Mancheck. They answer that they are not chickens. Both need chopped turkey, cutlets. And pizza is unthinkable as a main course. These are clearly the most difficult customers. »

In schools, endives or radishes, there is no need to test for safe food waste, and there is no need to be careful that green “remembers accidental relapses.”

No miracle recipes!

The cooking puzzle is amazingly similar to the house … no miracle cooking. There is no question that in the taste and diet, there is no question that education (nutritionist contributes to the development of menus) is a daily roasting test. “Although children are often asked questions, they should decide on a meal at school once a year.

Innovation in more ways than one

In the former Capitol Prison, the first fully electric central kitchen in France has been standing for thirty-seven years. A total of 21 people work every morning from 6 p.m., including 12 stoves. They prepare the dishes for the next day. “It’s always easier to keep the cold chain than the hot one,” the director said.

And 12 years ago, many central kitchens were able to replicate the innovative method for meat: low temperatures from 1am to 7pm. “The chef first slept next door, the system was done today and the taste and nutritional characteristics are known in one voice. We save energy, the bakeries are available for something else in the morning, we got 60 kg of meat because it is not compressed now.”
