Jumbo treat
Atlantic Foods has launched its new Jumbo Chicken Skewers to extend the Harvest Range of frozen, value-added chicken products.
Atlantic Foods says the pre-cooked chicken skewers are absolutely perfect for good portion control and are ideal for busy caterers because they take minutes to cook from frozen in the grill or using a microwave: "These succulent, extra-large skewers of tasty pieces of 100% chicken breast meat are a versatile addition
to any menu.
"Harvest Jumbo Chicken Skewers taste delicious served on their own with a range of dips, as part of a main meal with rice or salad, or as the ultimate filling for sandwiches, pittas and wraps."

East meets west
Kitchen Range Foods says its new Wasabi Mixed Vegetable Range brings East and West together at a pub chef's convenience.
Kitchen Range Foods Wasabi marketing manager Matt Godbold says the range is a
delicious selection of crunchy carrot batons, green beans, baby corn and peppers, with a hot, spicy Japanese-style wasabi dusting and light tempura coating.
Godbold says: "We are proud to be shaking up traditional perceptions of snacking occasions."
The range can be served on its own as a starter, snack, side order or as part of a combo platter to share with soy, sesame and sweet chilli dipping sauces. The range is available from wholesalers.

Authentic style
3663 First For Foodservice has introduced La Pizzeria Di Capri, a range of traditionally stone-baked and wood-fired pizzas. The dough is hand-stretched to produce an artisan effect.
Three new Premium Authentic Italian Woodfired Pizzas are available - buffalo
margherita; pepperoni, chorizo and jalapeno, pesto chicken with chargrilled vegetables, and margherita, Hawaiian and pepperoni varieties in Authentic Italian Stonebaked and Authentic Italian Woodfired ranges.
Chefs can opt for plain wood-fired pizza bases to design their own creations.
3663 chilled division marketing controller Julie Moore said: "This is probably the closest you get to serving authentic Italian pizza without hiring your own Italian chef."
