The School Nutrition Association’s Annual National Conference continues in Chicago today. Pinnacle Foods—representing some of the most well-known U.S. consumer brands like Aunt Jemima, Vlasic and Lender’s in foodservice and, of course, one of our clients—is doing a little something different at this year’s show. Pinnacle will be serving up the winning recipes from its Aunt Jemima Morning Stars recipe contest. Prepared by Chef Rob Corliss, the winning recipes all feature an Aunt Jemima® breakfast favorite like French Toast Sticks, Whole Grain Pancakes or Waffles, and were created by school foodservice operators specifically for school foodservice. Check back for actual photos of actual recipes being prepared by an actual chef.
Incidentally, the keynote speakers at this year’s ANC seem like a wildly mixed bunch: energetic life coach (is there any other kind?) Keith Harrell; “Body by Jake” Jake Steinfeld (check out this link…you actually can build your own Body By Jake); Marta Sahagún de Fox, wife of Mexico’s former President Vicente Fox Quesada; and Walter Scheib, chef to America’s President and the First Family for the past 11 years. (What does W. like for lunchies?)
