* It was set up as a social enterpriseto train young people with special needs

various cooking methods andtechniques to produce high quality soups,

sauces and desserts, withthat hand-made, artisan taste and feel.

* Why was Soul Food been set up?

The specific training we provide is with the intention to then employ

them into our food production kitchen. Since we started full

operation in March 2010, we have 9 trainees of which 7 have attained

the basic food hygiene certification through our one-on-one approach

to training and coaching.

The trainees under-go different stages of training in preparing modern

european cuisine, sauces, soups and desserts. These products feature

as set menus in our private dinners at our restaurant premise and sold

as ready-to-serve products to other cafes/restaurants.

HOW DO THEY TRAIN THEIR WORKERS?

Special Sauces Being used

These specialty sauces are used in their chicken caccitore, chicken

parmesan, osso buco, bbq prime pork ribs, lasagna and baked

cannelonni, to name a few. Their trainees also perform the “mise en

place” or preparation work for the soups we sell at the private

dinners such as rich mushroom soup with porcini oil, pumpkin soup with

truffle oil, pumpkin shrimp chowder, French onion and minestrone. As

for desserts, they are contributing in the initial construction of

bread and butter puddings, peach clafoutis, sherry trifles, chocolate

lava cakes and chocolate mousses.
