Chicken nuggets don’t have to mean unhealthy fast food 

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. 

In our school canteens, you’ll find fragrant roast chicken thigh with thyme, served with carrot and potato purée and sautéed sweetcorn. Green from fresh thyme, orange from carrots and yellow from corn – suddenly this classic looks a lot more fun!

Spring is in full swing, and everything feels fresh and new again. So why not freshen up the menu too? In the third week of April, our Gastro Calendar gives a familiar favourite a lighter spin. 

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. 

Nature is waking up, everything’s turning green, and Easter is just around the corner – hooray! Let’s bring spring and its favourite holiday into our school canteens. In the third week of March, our Gastro Calendar will serve up a delicious Easter-inspired treat.

What does a colourful Easter spring look like on a plate? Think chicken drumsticks roasted with fragrant spring herbs, served with pea-studded bulgur and glazed carrots. The freshness of spring meets Easter abundance in a dish that brightens the day with colour – and leaves everyone happily full.
