Michelin-starred chef Pietro Leeman creates a vegan menu for 80.000 milanese kids fed by Milano Ristorazione

Vegetarians have increased from 4% to 6% of the Italian population in one year, and 1.5% are vegan. Now this lifestyle choice is being brought to school as well: Michelin-starred chef Pietro Leeman, of Joia Restaurant - one of vegetarian cuisine’s most important names in Italy - has created a vegan menu for the 80.000 Milanese kids fed by Milano Ristorazione, a firm that provides meals for over 330 schools in Milan. “No-one would dare impose vegetarian or vegan culture on children”, the firm stated, “but we could at least let them taste it”.
