Ilana's Canteen at VPS serves home style food reflecting the schools' healthy food philosophy. Salads, sandwiches, muffins, granola, smoothies and snacks. Welcome to Ilana’s Canteen at Vaucluse Public School. For those of you who know me I am really looking forward to seeing you all again. I am so happy to be back at VPS and working to bring our children a healthy, exciting and nutritious canteen menu. For those I haven’t yet met please pop past and try out my coffee.  I can’t wait to get to know you and your children and to share my passion for good food with you all.
My food philosophy is pretty simple, a focus on good fresh ingredients with most food made on site. I will be baking my own muffins, banana bread, sausage rolls and pikelets. Serving homemade pasta sauces, granola and fresh salads. Ill also be blending up some delicious smoothies. Supplementing this will be a variety of snacks that mostly fall into the Green or Amber (every day snacks) category but there will be some treats too which you should encourage your children to eat in moderation.
You will find a copy of the menu attached. I hope your children will work their way through it and try lots of new things. The specials are seasonal and will change each term to reflect our harvesting region and weather. As the weather cools down I will probably introduce a soup of the week so keep an eye on the notice board.
