World
Vegetarian Day – 1st October
Celebrate vegetarian food with Creative Catering
– a free resource from The Vegetarian Society
To mark World Vegetarian
Day, The Vegetarian Society is launching Creative Catering, a free
resource
pack for caterers, chefs and hoteliers. Creative
Catering aims to provide food professionals with a clear understanding
of the vegetarian diet, knowledge of core vegetarian ingredients and
a selection of delicious recipes that can be used as building blocks
in caterers’ vegetarian repertoire.
An essential resource for every professional kitchen, Creative Catering
gives
useful definitions of the terms ‘vegetarian’ and ‘vegan’,
and an invaluable section on vegetarian nutrition. The catering scale recipes
featured show the full diversity of vegetarian cuisine, from Thai Vegetable Curry
with Fragrant Rice, to Mushroom & Artichoke Tarts and Raspberry, Almond & Cinnamon
Torte, recipes that will suit every cooking style and keep your customers coming
back for more!
