Hospital Food

[Guest guest]

Hi Joyce,

 

I just wanted to let you and others know that VRG can help you work

with hospital food services. Our book, Vegan In Volume

<http://www.vrg.org/catalog/volume.htm> was designed with

institutional food services in mind. We also have a Quanity Recipes

packet <http://www.vrg.org/catalog/quant.htm> that is along the same

lines.

 

For quick ideas, like the situation you describe below, you could

direct them to our website <http://www.vrg.org> and ask them to click

on the " Food Service " link. This will take them to excerpts from our

Food Service Update newsletter, which has many recipes.

 

For more ideas, see our article " Tips for Introducing Vegetarian Food

into Institutions " <http://www.vrg.org/fsupdate/tipsintroinstitute.htm>
