Menu Guidelines
Two weeks with a different menu each day to be repeated for the 6 fortnights in the season.
Each daily menu consists of a soup, two main meals and a fruit based dessert to choose from.
Each meal will follow the Australian Dietary Guidelines for nutrition and portion size.
Meals will cater for a variety of tastes and needs, responding to the local community.
YamDaisy will use seasonal, plentiful ingredients and avoid expensive ones.
YamDaisy meals must be easy for a tiny staff to cook in quantity in a small but well equipped kitchen.
Key
S = Soup
M1 = Main meal 1

This is a sample menu only! We want to show the type of lovely menu a YamDaisy Cafe will provide, but for each cafe the chef will produce a menu based on local ingredients, and responding to the local needs and wants.
