Vegetarian for Life are on the lookout for 2024's rising stars in vegan and vegetarian care catering.
At VfL, they think that care caterers who make a special effort to create delicious and nutritious vegan and vegetarian meals deserve special recognition. For the first time, there are categories that Hospital Caterers can enter, so why not take the opportunity of showcasing what you can are proud about.
This year marks the eighth VfL Awards for Excellence in Veg*n Care Catering. With more vegans and vegetarians moving into residential care every year, this annual award recognises those who are pioneering the way in modern care catering. VfL are delighted to be returning to the Houses of Parliament for this year's ceremony, which is expected to be held on the afternoon of Thursday 12 September.
We want to find a care/hospital caterer who is making a wide range of delicious and nutritious meals for older vegans or veggies in a care setting (open to individuals and teams).
We want to find a supplier that is offering either a great range of veg*n products OR a single veg*n product that shows innovation, taste and variety. Your product(s) may be standalone or used as a key ingredient in a recipe and must be specifically available to care/hospital caterers.
We’re looking for chefs to nominate their favourite go-to hero product when developing menus and recipes for vegans and vegetarians in care homes and hospitals.
We’re looking for a recipe that can be used within a care or hospital setting or simply cooked at home. We’re looking for great taste, value and innovative use of ingredients.
(Submitted recipes will be shared with VfL members and stakeholders and featured on all media platforms.)
This is for that special someone who strives to make the UK a better place for older vegans and vegetarians. This could be a volunteer, a resident, a staff member or anyone pursuing this objective.
All you need to do is fill in the short form here, letting VfL know who you want to nominate and why. Be quick though, the deadline for entries is fast approaching and they will need all submissions by 12pm on Thursday 18 July.
