Education that Connects Science, the Kitchen and Practice
Healthy Meal Standard Academy is professional training for chefs and staff in organised food service systems, focused on Practical Application of Nutritional Guidelines in Everyday Work.
Through work in a real kitchen, with existing menus and teams, we show how to improve meals without placing additional strain on the system — but through better organisation, knowledge and approach.
What is HMS Academy
HMS Academy is an educational programme delivered directly in the kitchens of kindergartens, schools, hospitals and other food service systems.
Unlike traditional training, the focus is not on theory, but on practical work with existing menus, ingredients and equipment.
