Cucina caters for school meals and the chefs ensure that not only is food freshly prepared and exceeds nutritional guidelines, but the pupils also learn about different foods and are taught essential skills for life.

All chefs working for Cucina provide kitchen theatre; making and preparing food visual, exciting, involving and educational for pupils. In kitchen theatre, pupils can see how food is prepared at break time and see chefs chopping and tossing pizza.

Cucina's professional attitude demonstrates their fresh approach to training with staff knowing the benefits of eating foods from the main food groups, the importance of vitamins, minerals, the dangers of not eating a balanced diet, the composites of certain foods and what food can and cannot be eaten on special diets.
