Flavours Catering is the new partner providing the school meals for Avenor students. Starting in the academic year 2016-2017, Avenor College Cafeteria becomes Stradale Avenor, a place where the Flavours team will cook and serve lunch and snack for our students.
We have always been concerned with the children’s nutrition, over the years we have worked with several catering companies in search of better solutions. The feedback we constantly received from students and parents encouraged us to make an important change: having our own kitchen, in order to make sure that the meals are fresh and served at optimal temperature.
The dishes will be prepared with carefully selected ingredients from providers that are visited and verified by the Flavours team. The meals will be cooked according to recipes specially created for Stradale Avenor by Chef Foa, one of the creators of Flavours. Also, the new kitchen will have a dedicated staff, provided by our partners: head chef, pastry chef, assistants and cafeteria manager.
“We are always careful to keep a perfect balance between taste and health, so we can adapt our menus according to the needs of every child”, Stradale Avenor manager Daniel Obretin explains. “We are prepared to offer children and teenagers nutritional information and are open to suggestions regarding their favourite dishes. Chef Foa will also be present in the cafeteria, whenever possible, to speak to students about healthy eating and teach them how to enjoy tasty and healthy food cooked correctly.”
The daily menu for students will take into account the Avenor nutritional policy and will include:
Lunch
- 2 types of soup (meat / vegetarian)
- 3 main courses (white meat / red meat / vegetarian) with side dish and salad
Snack (sweet or salty) and a fruit
To be able to make all these changes, we needed to reorganise the space in the Cafeteria. We have also created a coffee shop for parents, a place where they can have snacks, coffee and tea.
The investment necessary for setting up the new kitchen stands at more than 130.000 euro, an amount covered in partnership by Flavours Catering and Avenor Foundation.
Flavours Food & Catering is a concept created in 2002, based on the following principles: a love for food, the authenticity of the recipes and the respect for high standards. You can find more details about the company here.
We are confident that the partnership with Flavours Catering, a company with excellent references, that also has a similar project at the American International School of Bucharest, will be successful.
