Hello, I am chef Jeff. I am an Olympic chef heading to the Paris 2024 Olympics. I am going to give you a sneak peek at the dishes served in the athletes village at this year's Olympics in Paris. Today. I'm going to prepare for you. An amazing plant based pasta made with Cal Alfredo with cashew cream to prepare today's meal. We have tricolored cauliflower that has been roasted with a little olive oil and sea salt. We have the cashews that we made the cashew cream with. We have a vegan plant-based Parmesan cheese. We have oven roasted tomato chili threads to add a little spice of flavor. A bucatini pasta, which is one of my favorites, diced shallots and sliced garlic. As you can see, a lot of this has been prep prepared to make meal planning quicker and easier. Gonna start by using a high flame to that. We are gonna add olive oil, good mouth. Then to that we have our predic shallot slivered garlic. I really love this dish. It's very aromatic. OK? Let the flame come up. We'll let this cook for a few minutes. This dish has great carbohydrate. It's something that adds a lot of calories for the athlete and it's a great way to prepare for their event. So we will let this get some color to it. Ok. Then we're gonna get one of my favorite pastas bucatini. So we're gonna add a portion of Bucatini. Ok, while that's cooking. Ok. We're getting some good color. Now we've precooked the pasta for and then here is our cashew cream that we have pres soaked the cashews overnight and then you blend them in a blender until smooth. Mhm. So we have the cashew cream. Ok. You can hear that cooking well. Ok. Well, he pissed off. Nice and hot. Turn the flame off. You can see how beautiful and creamy that is. Ok. Then to that, we are gonna de some vegan parmesan to the dish. Is that nice portion of that? And then to that we have these vine ripe tomatoes that we've done. We've cooked slowly in the oven. Nice, slow cooked simmer, it sweetens the tomato. And then we are gonna add our cauliflower. This normally you would do roasted at home and serve warm or you can saute it in the pasta for today. We chose to do it separately. See the beautiful color on these, these again were roasted with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, add some beautiful color and then to that, we'll finish it with a little chili bread or give it a pop of flavor and add a little color and there you are. I personally love this dish just for the flavor. You don't miss that. It doesn't have cream or butter. This is an amazing dish that tastes just like the original. Now, the best part of preparing this meal is to actually get to try it. Incredible. Enjoy.

Supplying thousands of tons of food for the duration of the Olympics, Paris 2024 is set to become the 'world's largest restaurant' for the summer—and they're prioritizing plant-based meals. Olympic chef Jeff Leidy of Sodexo Live! explains how the dining operation comes to life.

How the Olympics becomes the 'world's largest restaurant'

Supplying thousands of tons of food for the duration of the Olympics, Paris 2024 is set to become the 'world's largest restaurant' for the summer—and they're prioritizing plant-based meals.

At the Paris Olympics. We're expected to make thousands of tons of food. We'll be ordering over 3 million bananas, 20 tons of coffee and over 500 unique meals created by our team serving approximately 40,000 meals every day for over 15,000 athletes. I'm chef Jeff, one of the Olympic chefs with Sexo Live for Paris 2024. I am one of 25 global Sexo live chefs supporting a team of 1000 employees. Something people don't know is for the duration of the Olympics. This will be the world's largest restaurant with over 3500 seats served over 13 million meals for two months. The meals are inspired by international flavors. The main food hall at the athletes village will have an international section, a North American section, a halal section, an Asian section and of course a French section with all the classic French gastronomy and pastries. When looking at the meals served at the athletes village, we take into account nationality, religion, preferences and most of all the needs of the athlete's event. With my experience of feeding athletes. We're also going to be working with players, nutritionists and creating different recipes and menu items. Most recently in the food trends, we're starting to see athletes are looking for high carb meals, lean proteins and most of all diverse menus to give them options. One very exciting part at this year's Olympics. As 30% of the meals offered in athletes village will be plant based, looking at plant based meals. We'll have grains, nuts, seeds, tofu, soy based products are all high in protein. Some of the meals that we'll be preparing for the Paris. 2024 Olympics are a watermelon and pearl mozzarella salad with summer citrus. We're also gonna be preparing numerous grain bowls. One is a Faro grain bowl with roasted summer squash flat based bucatini pasta with a cashew cream and we'll be preparing seared scallops with asparagus and pure of parsnips and roast beets plant based food is not only great tasting and flavorful, it's also great for the environment. Our goal is to make this the greenest Olympics. There's been and we look to reduce the carbon footprint two fold from the 2012 London Olympics of the items sourced for this year's Olympics. 80% will be sourced within French borders. 25% will be sourced within 250 kilometers of the venue. There are so much that goes in to deliver such an amazing event. I will be heading to the Olympics early to help prepare, get set up and to make sure we are ready for when the athletes arrive. Our colleagues in France have been working very meticulously over the last two years to come up with a great plan, great menus, recipe creation, searching France for the best high quality ingredients with all the preparation. The one thing that I'm still just amazed by the teams behind the team. When you're at these large events, the environment is crazy. It's controlled chaos. It's long days, it's a very high paced tense environment. But with a great plan, everything comes together, you end up with just a great event. It's an incredible honor to be selected as an Olympic chef. Needless to say I'm prepared for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
