Learning to eat healthily
Elior, the leader of institutional catering in France and partner of DUCASSE Conseil, wanted to strenghthen the culinary identity of its education market (from nursery school to university) by changing its positioning. We helped them improve the nutritional balance, the taste quality and the environmental respect but also create a culinary label meeting their quality and taste criteria.
Our mission
The DUCASSE Conseil teams were asked to create recreational recipes, train the teams in the mass production kitchens and write dish presentation tutorials.

Our approach
Creation of new culinary processes
It was decided to make only homemade stocks, use rice flour for hot sauces and juices, cook fish with scented oils, and cook all the sautéed meat with an aromatic garnish.
Recipe creation
DUCASSE Conseil participated in the creation of recipes respecting the quantities, the cost ranges as well as the operational and material constraints. These recipes had to be "fun" to limit waste and encourage children to eat well.
Customized trainings in 15 Elior mass production kitchens in France
Our chef consultants visited fifteen central kitchens across France to train the teams in the newly created culinary processes and recipes and check the production methods and the products used.
Tutorials for employees working in school pantries
Our teams wrote a guide with the rules and steps of carving and presentation, illustrated with step-by-step pictures and final presentations. Subsequently, they created and recorded a video tutorial to support teams working in school pantries.
