This is a great idea - wish he worked here - HomeCulinarian - 07-03-2008
Heard this story yesterday on NPR Morning Edition. It is about a chef in France who is working in the schools and introducing young people to good, healthy food choices ... check it out.

"Eyes twinkling and knives flashing, Valadier opens up the plump turkey thighs, cutting out the bones.
The flattened turkey filets are wrapped around a stuffing of ground up parsley, garlic, cheese and smoked pork shoulder. The loaves are then tied with twine and baked for three hours at low temperatures to keep in the juices and flavor. When sliced, they will serve hundreds of students, 10 times the number that could have been fed on the plain turkey thighs." - Wow, doesn't that just sound delicious???
When my kids were in school, the cafeterias still had cooks who prepared the foods for lunches - now most everything is just heated up and served....yuck!
Wish this would take off over here and get back to having "cooks" in the school kitchens.

No kidding Jean! I look at the plates of food...very skimpy compared to the old days, too...and thank my lucky stars I brought my lunch! YUCK!
Great story HC! Thanks for sharing! I might stay on a couple more years past retirement, if this caught on...NOT! But it is a great idea!
