Fruity Cooking Month

There are many good things about having fruit in your dishes. The vast choices of fruit can add a pleasant feel to a dish; it’s a handy way to increase fruit intake from diet. In coming April, the Department of Health (“DH”) organises the “Joyful Fruit Month 2014” event for the school sector to promote fruit eating. To give the event an extra boost, we are now appealing to the catering industry to provide more fruit-themed EatSmart dishes so as to promote fruit eating among the public. Those who are obliged to eat out every now and then will have more opportunities to eat fruit. For those EatSmart Restaurants and chefs who care for the health of the public, please pitch in and support!
