Menu & Food + Chefs
Food and Menus With Meaning
Locally sourced ingredients and favorite local brands add joy to life! Culinesse starts with getting to know the residents’ current lifestyles, food preferences, and even life experiences prior to moving into the community to zoom in on the tastes and flavors that bring residents‘ fond memories to life. Under the direction of an imaginative Culinesse chef, complete dining menus are tailored to reflect the chosen identity of each client’s community and to honor the tastes of each community’s resident population and culture.
Prioritizing Your Health
Food is nourishment, but not just for the body. Food nourishes the mind and soul of each person, uniquely. People come together around food; the sights, smiles, and conversations lift spirits, make us feel good, and give us a reason to look forward. At Culinesse, we believe that “an intimate connection exists between the food that is native to a region and the people living there. The heart, soul, and character of the land lie within its food.” To best foster the health and well-being of your residents and guests, we welcome you to partner with our experienced management company. Our team is standing by to bring high-quality food and service to senior living communities throughout PA, MD, DE, NJ, VA, NC and SC. Contact us today to learn more about our senior dining services and to get started on tailoring a menu to your guests!
Local ChefsAdding Local Flavor To Your Community
Culinesse approaches culinary services quite differently. We engage chefs from local restaurants who know local tastes and suppliers better than we ever will. They review our menus and recipes and adjust them to meet the dining and taste expectations of your residents and team members.
Our consulting chefs are independent entrepreneurs who own and operate the restaurants that are frequented by your residents … no one knows them better! Our consulting chefs also recommend and connect us with local farmers, growers, and producers of the highest quality dairy, produce, coffees, meats, seafoo,d and baked goods. Fresher and cleaner, these locally sourced ingredients and finished products reduce the carbon footprint by minimizing the environmental impact of packaging, shipping, and handling.
We feature our consulting chefs at Guest Chef Nights, Chefs’ Tables, and Chefs’ Competitions with resident teams. Residents love cooking classes instructed by our consulting chefs, who feature signature menu items from their local restaurants and help us create signature menu items for our clients’ communities.
