Thomas Cuisine

✨ We’re thrilled to welcome our newest managers to the Thomas Cuisine family! This week’s New Manager Orientation brought together leaders from across the country for two days of connection, collaboration, and REAL food experiences. They met our home office team, toured partner accounts to see REAL food in action, and gained hands-on insight into the departments that drive our mission forward. Chef Anna Tapia and the team catered dinner featuring fresh, REAL ingredients that reflected our scratch-made philosophy and commitment to quality sourcing. Sharing this meal together set the tone for a gathering centered on purpose and connection. We’re excited to see how these incredible leaders will carry the Thomas Cuisine mission into their own communities. #Teamwork #RealFood #CulinaryExcellence #FoodserviceProfessionals #Foodservice Gloria Korpus  Chris Collins Jose Severino Negust Kaza Interested in joining our team?

👨🍳 HEY CHEF! Chef Will brought the flavor to TREASURE VALLEY HOSPITALwith this carne asada lunch special. This one is all about the details. We marinated flank steak all weekend and grilled it to perfection, then served it with your choice of toppings. Try the sweet and spicy strawberry salsa made with jalapeño, honey, lime, and cilantro, or go for the bold roasted corn salsa. Optional additions like cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and diced onions let you make it just the way you like. This is what REAL food in healthcare looks like. #Foodservice #FoodServiceManagement #CulinaryExcellence #Chef

Chef Javier Barrientos and Joan Schwaba, MS, RDN teamed up to bring wellness to the forefront through delicious, nutritious cooking in our Cultivate Teaching Kitchen at Lutheran Life Communities. 💚 In this session, Chef Javier prepared a rhubarb compote while Joan shared the powerful health benefits of fruits and vegetables. She highlighted how they add fiber, antioxidants, and vibrant color to the plate. Here’s the recipe from the demo: Rhubarb Compote with Greek Yogurt Serves 4 Ingredients • 7 cups fresh rhubarb, roughly chopped • 1 cup honey • 1 tsp fresh ginger root, grated • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom • 1/4 tsp kosher salt • 1 pint plain Greek yogurt Directions Roughly chop rhubarb and grate ginger. In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, ginger, honey, cardamom, and salt. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the mixture begins to simmer. Cover and cook on low, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down (about 15 minutes). Let cool to room temperature. Serve over 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt per serving. #REALFood #SeniorLiving #Dietitian #Nutrition

🎉 Celebrating 22 Years of Excellence: Ben Wagner Today, we’re celebrating Ben Wagner and his incredible 22-year journey with Thomas Cuisine! As our Culinary Informatics Manager, Ben is the definition of consistency, humility, and service. His impact touches nearly every part of our organization, from recipe systems to training support to helping our chefs do what they do best. If you’ve worked with Ben, you know he’s always there when you need him, and he always delivers. One team member shared it best: “Ben is one of the humblest individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He takes little praise for the hard work that he does. He says yes to almost everything, and if he has questions, he's very thorough in that questioning to provide the best outcome. I believe he truly gets rewarded by doing a better job than anyone else could imagine, but you'd never know it because he's so humble. He just finds it so rewarding to create an amazing product that can be used by all.” Here’s to 22 remarkable years and many more to come 👏🏻 Interested in joining our team?
