Eighteen months ago, Kona Pacific switched over to all-scratch cooking, using whole foods and no added refined flours or sugars, while reducing food costs 30%. We did it with the help of Carleton Gillenwater, expert food service culinary planner and chef. Carleton will present a workshop for culinary staff, presenting simple steps and a roadmap so that every school can make the switch.
