Introducing Galley's New "Cooking Methods" Feature: Precision at Every Step
At Galley, we understand that achieving culinary excellence requires more than just great ingredients and creative recipes—it demands precision, especially when it comes to nutrition. We’re thrilled to unveil our new “Cooking Methods” feature, designed to enhance recipe accuracy by factoring in the exact method used for each ingredient. This feature supports comprehensive nutrition analysis, ensuring that from sautéing to roasting, each cooking method's impact on nutrient retention, flavor, and yield is captured seamlessly. Galley’s CRP platform empowers you to capture those nuances effortlessly.
Why Cooking Methods Matter
For too long, foodservice professionals have had to rely on general nutrition software that often skews results due to one-size-fits-all values. But with Cooking Methods, Galley takes the guesswork out of recipe management by adjusting nutrition data dynamically based on real cooking methods, incorporating advanced nutrition analysis. This means you can start with raw ingredient amounts and let Galley handle the rest, converting values to reflect the cooked outcome accurately.
Here’s how it works:
Method-Specific Details: Set distinct cooking methods—whether baked, boiled, or grilled—for each recipe component.
Tailored Data for Each Ingredient: Ingredients retain unique yield percentages and nutrient adjustments based on the selected cooking method. “Grilled chicken,” for instance, carries different values than “boiled chicken.”
This feature also supports diet analysis, helping you analyze recipes and meal plans to achieve better dietary results.
USDA-Backed and Customizable: Our platform pulls yield percentages and nutrient data from USDA sources, though users can customize this for proprietary recipes.
Single-Item Precision: Apply methods at the ingredient level for precision, with one method per ingredient to avoid overlaps. Multi-step cooking? Simply add combined methods like “sautéed and roasted.”
A Game-Changer for Food Service Teams
The Cooking Methods feature is purpose-built for industries where precision is non-negotiable: community kitchens, health-focused meal programs, university dining, and meal delivery services. Users can expect:
Enhanced Nutritional Accuracy: Dynamic adjustments for nutrient retention and meal planning ensure you meet strict dietary needs and compliance standards.
Streamlined Recipe Creation: Reduce time spent on manual nutrition calculations and focus on perfecting your menus.
Operational Efficiency: Build operational consistency and transparency across culinary teams. This feature is particularly beneficial in various food service settings, such as hospitals and schools, where managing food programs and overseeing food preparation are crucial.
Rolling Out with Purpose for Healthy Eating Habits
Our first roll-out partner, Purple Carrot—a pioneer in plant-based meal kits—has embraced Cooking Methods to optimize their ingredient preparation and align with their mission of promoting healthy eating habits and making plant-based nutrition accessible and accurate. As with every Galley feature, we’re providing ongoing support, customized training, and resources for a smooth transition.
At Galley, we’re driven by the vision of a seamlessly connected culinary ecosystem. The Cooking Methods feature is a step forward in realizing this vision, bringing operators closer to precision, consistency, and culinary innovation. This feature also helps clients lead healthy lives by providing tailored advice and improving health outcomes. Stay tuned as we continue to redefine what’s possible in foodservice.
