Four new Italian ranges from Gino D’Acampo are to be introduced at Innovate’s school restaurants, with special prizes to be won – including a visit from the chef to one school.
Innovate Services, the innovative school catering operator, is launching a special six-week promotion across all of its 75 secondary schools, academies and college restaurants, introducing four new product ranges to its Simply Fantastico Italian offering – all designed by the popular Italian chef Gino D’Acampo.
From the week commencing 28 January, students will be able to sample a range of new Italian dishes, including plated ‘Pasta Buonissimo’, ‘Mamma’s Pizza’, Calzone pizza pockets and ‘Nonna’s Treats’ cakes and desserts. Students who purchase dishes from one of these ranges will automatically receive a slip to enter a prize-draw to win a signed cookery book or an apron from Gino, with winners drawn at the end of the six-week promotion. One lucky school will also win the grand prize of having Gino visit their school to cook lunch for them.
Commenting on the launch of the new dishes, Gino D’Acampo said: “I am very excited to introduce four brand new ranges to Innovate’s ‘Simply Fantastico’ menu offering students the chance to try some tasty new options. All have been created using authentic fresh ingredients and, in addition to some beautiful hot dishes, I have also introduced a choice of desserts which are based on traditional recipes. The students will just love them!”
Derick Martin, co-founder and CEO, Innovate Services added: “We are excited to launch this promotion across all our schools, which not only introduces some exciting new dishes but offers students the chance to potentially win some great prizes. Gino D’Acampo has designed four fantastic new ranges for Innovate, which includes authentic pizza recipes and also some new sweet treats, such as traditional Pannacotta and three Tiramisu servings. Since launching Gino’s Simply Fantastico pasta at our schools, we have received excellent feedback and now, with this special promotion, we are confident that students are ready to try some brand new flavours along with the dishes they are familiar with, such as pizza – and they can enjoy the chance to win some great prizes.”
The promotion launches during the week commencing 28 January 2013 and runs for a six-week period across all of Innovate’s school restaurants. With every purchase from the new Simply Fantastico range, students will receive an entry slip for them to complete and return to Innovate. At the end of the promotion a draw will take place at each of Innovate’s restaurants to pick one winner of the signed book and one winner of the apron from Gino D’Acampo. A grand draw will then follow, where the winning school will receive a visit from Gino, who will cook lunch for students at the school.
