As part of its partnership with ELIOR, DUCASSE Conseil is helping its Education division, Elior Enseignement, to create new culinary processes in its central production kitchens (sites preparing food for 5,000 to 50,000 meals a day). The aim is to ensure that children from daycare through to high school enjoy tastier and more balanced meals.
Since 2016, DUCASSE Conseil has been working to create new culinary processes for central production kitchens along with new recipes to illustrate these processes, and training production chefs to execute them.

Since 2016
DUCASSE Conseil created a variety of recipes using new culinary processes. These recipes, which had to adhere to a material cost pre-agreed with our client, also had to be fully feasible for the scale and methods of central production kitchens.
DUCASSE Conseil created new culinary processes that could be applied in central production kitchens for 5,000 to 50,000 meals per day: binding hot sauces with rice flour, gentle cooking of fish, plant-based sauces without using industrial stocks, and aromatic garnishes for sautéed meat.
DUCASSE Conseil’s chef trained some fifteen production chefs at our training center and in the 15 central production kitchens across France to help them apply these new processes.
In 2018, DUCASSE Conseil was commissioned by Elior North America to organize road shows to motivate and train its chefs and introduce them to French cuisine. In 2019, Elior North America decided to call on DUCASSE Conseil again to organize culinary workshops for Elior’s chefs.
DUCASSE Conseil’s partner Elior, France’s leading contract catering operator, wanted to make some adjustments to improve the culinary identity in its Education market (from daycare to university). We helped them adapt the cooking methods in their central production kitchens to put the emphasis back on taste, and create a culinary certification with strict criteria for quality and taste.
Arpège, a subsidiary of Elior, is a leading premium corporate catering operator.
