Gino D’Acampo launches exclusive partnership with school catering firm, Innovate Services
6 March 2012
Twelve authentic pasta dishes have been created exclusively
for Innovate Services’ school restaurants –
Innovate Services Ltd, the innovative catering facilities
operator to the education sector, has announced an exclusive partnership with
popular Italian chef, entrepreneur and author, Gino D’Acampo to create a new
Italian food menu for its 65 school, academies and college restaurants across
the UK. As part of the relationship,
Gino D’Acampo has created 12 authentic pasta recipes that will be freshly
served to students and offer a true taste of restaurant-quality Italian
cuisine.
To celebrate the launch, on Monday 12 March Gino D’Acampo
will be serving the first pasta meals from the new ‘Simply Fantastico’ range to
students at one of Innovate’s school restaurants in Buckinghamshire, as part of
the lunchtime service.
Gino D’Acampo, who is also a familiar face through his many
TV appearances, has designed the dishes to offer students a choice of real
Italian pastas that are packed with goodness and are based on traditional
recipes using wholesome, honest ingredients.
The range is launching at all of Innovate’s dining facilities this
month, and will be available as plated meal options or packaged in specially
designed ‘grab and go’ insulated cartons.
Commenting on the launch of ‘Simply Fantastico’ at
Innovate’s restaurants, Gino D’Acampo said, “I am a passionate believer in
good, fresh food and am excited to have been invited by Innovate to create a
new range of real Italian pasta dishes for school and college students across
the UK. The dishes use the very best quality ingredients that are full of
goodness and taste great. In fact, they
are based on some of my family favourites and so I hope the students enjoy the
meals as much as I did when I was growing up.”
Derick Martin, co-founder and CEO of Innovate Services said,
“Pasta is a firm favourite for most students and so we were keen to give them
something to get truly excited about. For a long time we have been looking for
the right solution and are now very confident that we’ve found it having partnered
exclusively with professional chef, Gino D’Acampo. The delicious ‘Simply Fantastico’ range has
been composed by Gino with a focus on simplicity and taste, and we plan to
rotate these 12 new flavours across our school restaurant’s daily menus.”
Throughout February, Gino D’Acampo undertook a series of
road-show events to showcase the recipes to Innovate’s chefs and catering teams
across the country and to provide live demonstrations of how the dishes are
created, explain what has gone into the recipes and inspire the school chefs
who will be preparing the recipes with his energy, enthusiasm and passion for creating
real Italian food served with style.
