For Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Bon Appétit Management Co. constantly does recipe revamps, as part of its healthy cooking initiative and “stealth” nutrition.
“We could just put out traditional rice pilaf, but by taking out the white rice and adding super grains such as brown rice, barley and quinoa instead, the dish becomes more flavorful and healthier,” notes Chef Robbie Washington. “Most of the students are more apt to try it because it’s something different, but all of the vegetarians like it and it is on the menu quite often.”
