What To Look For When Planning Your Catering Kitchen

When you’re thinking of buying equipment for your restaurant, cafeteria or other catering facility, it is important to consider all of your options and plan well as this equipment could make or break your operation.
You need to think of what type equipment would be best for your specific needs, the equipment layout to ensure that you have a good workflow, the quality to ensure that you can have uninterrupted service, and the warranty and support services that the installing company provides.

Casual Eats - Relaxing the Rituals

Embrace the Top Food Trends with Casual Cuisines
The way we like to dine is becoming increasingly casual, with menus still hugely influenced by the innovation of street food and the relaxed style of tapas and sharing plates. Customisation has become a key opportunity for differentiation and breaking out from the crowd, and with that we see more build-your-own concepts and options designed for personalisation.
Part of the Story
Carefully selecting colour, pattern and shape for a restaurant’s tableware can enhance the overall story of a hospitality concept, connecting the food and ingredients with the interior design and colour scheme. Coloured tableware becomes the perfect accompaniment to casual dishes, enhancing food presentation and offering chefs more opportunity to be creative.
Getting the right mincer for your Restaurant Kitchen

Mince is such a versatile ingredient used in so many different recipes and genres of food.
Grinding or mincing the meat gives enhanced tenderness in the meat and also allows you as a chef to distribute the flavours uniformly throughout the meats more easily and you can use a mould to make uniform shapes out of the meat.
Therefore the meat mincer or meat grinder is an essential item in a commercial butcher shop as well as in more advanced commercial kitchens where the shop would like to own the process and choose the specific cuts he or she wants in their dishes.

Our trainers from Italy and Malta to showcase the Oven that works like MAGIC!!!

What is a high speed oven? Well, it’s a device that can cook a frozen pizza in 2 minutes, a filet of salmon in one minute and a half, a panino in 45 second and a lasagna in less than 3 minutes. Is it magic? Well, of course not, it’s a combination of old and new technologies that can be used to master superb results in a wide variety of situations.
But it needs the touch of a professional.
And that is why we chose to invite local chefs on the 23rd February to demonstrate the power of this fantastic kitchen tool, the ORACLE oven. Our expert from Lainox, Lorenzo Possamai visited Malta purposely to host a dedicated workshop in collaboration with our resident trainer in Malta, Kurt Mifsud from MCA. This demo was held in the fully equipped kitchen at the Mediterranean Culinary Academy in Naxxar.
