Back to school with the flavours of the Gastro Calendar

Summer is coming to an end, and the school year is starting again. Along with homework, studying and all the other school responsibilities, the Gastro Calendar is back too. This year, pupils and students can once again look forward to a journey through flavours from around the world. We’re kicking things off with a look back at summer in sunny Italy.

In the third week of September, little diners will find sliced chicken breast and potato gnocchi with courgette and tomatoes on the menu, all sprinkled with Gran Moravia cheese. This lunch is basically a healthier, tastier version of spaghetti with ketchup and cheese. A perfect start to the new school year.

Mention fried chicken bites and almost every child’s eyes light up. Parents, on the other hand, tend to go on alert at the thought of fast-food chains. So with our Gastro Calendar, we decided to take this much-loved fast-food favourite and do it properly – healthier, tastier, and with a hint of Japanese flavour.

More colour means more flavour

Every child knows that a racing car with stripes goes faster. And with food, it’s much the same – the more colourful it is, the better it not only looks, but tastes too. That’s why, in the third week of May, our Gastro Calendar is adding a splash of colour to young diners’ plates.

You guessed it – we’re talking about spaghetti Bolognese. This usually quite hearty dish has been lightened up: instead of beef, little diners will find African catfish in their favourite sauce, rich in unsaturated fats and vitamin D. A perfect springtime reset after all that Easter chocolate.
