Compass One’s Cuisine Centre launches its Moreish range

Compass One’s Cuisine Centre has announced the launch of Moreish – a high-quality, nutritious frozen food range, which locks in flavour and can cut waste. Moreish offers a comorehensve menu of over 100 options, including main meals and side dishes creating choice for residents, clients and customers.

Greg Harrison, managing director of the Cuisine Centre explains: “We have listened to the market and wanted to launch a frozen meal option for our clients and customers. Frozen meals are a great alternative to our fresh cooked system - we know that they provide even greater flexibility, whilst still maintaining choice, quality, convenience and taste.

“I am looking forward to delivering the Moreish range across our estate moving forward and providing another option in addition to the Steamplicity and chilled plated ranges.”

Maxine Cartz, a dietitian working in the healthcare division of  Compass Group UK & Ireland adds: “We have been working to create the Moreish range, with a focus on maintaining nutritional value and taste. It’s also important that we cater for a range of dietary needs, so I am pleased we’re providing good quality meals that will tempt our customers, but that also meet a variety of special dietary requirements.

“Working alongside our New Product team and Chefs, we have created a great offer that we’re very proud of.”

Expertly created by the Cuisine Centre’s chefs and approved by dietitians, each new product is shaped to incorporate patient and client feedback, food trends and innovation. Moreish offers a wide range of multiportion dishes, to support flexibility for end customers. Meals include traditional favourites, such as a tender beef roast dinner with herb-buttered vegetable, plus to exciting, authentic flavours like peri peri chicken and chickpea and sweet potato curry. At least 40% of the main courses and soups are vegetarian or vegan, and the Moreish range also covers a range of dietary requirements. All meet the nutrition criteria in the British Dietetic Association’s Nutrition and Hydration Digest, which sets industry standards and, because the range is cooked from frozen, optimal taste, quality and nutrition are maintained, while also helping to relieve everyday kitchen pressures by supporting any potential existing food offers, streamlining cooking, storage and serving.

Moreish has been trialled in hospitals and is now available for a range of settings including healthcare, care and residential homes and workplaces throughout the UK.

The Cuisine Centre serves 12 million meals per year and the facilities are accredited by the British Retail Consortium Global Standards.
