Nowadays, you’ll be lucky to find an office without any special dietary requirements, food allergies or intolerances. Whether it’s for health reasons or moral reasons, many people are turning to alternative diets or a vegan lifestyle. Currently, 7% of all Australians do not consume certain foods due to cultural or religious reasons. October 1st is world vegetarian day, so it’s the perfect opportunity to expand your culinary world and try some new vegetarian dishes.
It’s important when you are ordering corporate catering for the office or your next corporate event to ensure you have all the special diets noted, so nobody goes hungry. If you’re unsure on what to order, we are always happy to give advice!
If somebody eats a vegetarian diet, they don’t eat any meat. Somebody who is vegan doesn’t eat meat or any products derived from animals. This includes dairy, eggs and anything that comes from an animal.
People can choose to only eat vegetarian or vegan food for a number of reasons. Sometimes it’s based on efforts to be more sustainable, moral reasons or a food intolerance. Whatever the reason, it is important to make sure your office catering doesn’t leave people out. Lucky for you, we have an awesome variety of corporate caterers who supply delicious menu options for all special diets.
According to research published in science, if everyone went vegan tomorrow, we’d use 3 billion hectares less of the earth’s surface for farm and our food emissions would drop about half. Of course, it’s very unlikely for this to happen. Meat can be an important part of heritage and identity, and shapes many cultural staples in communities across the globe. But, the simple act of cutting down on your meat and dairy consumption for just a few meals each week can help reduce emissions caused by food production.
We know sometimes it can be difficult to find the perfect vegetarian or vegan solution for your guests, so we’ve collected a list of some of the tried and true favourites. Step away from the plain 4 leaf salad mix and serve up something so flavourful and delicious, that even the meat-eaters will be pining for a taste.
We all know that sandwiches and wraps are a classic and always come with a vegetarian option, but what about all the other delicious corporate catering options we have available? Here’s a list of alternative delicious vegetarian catering options for your next working lunch.
