P&O Cruises teams up with Annabel Karmel to elevate children’s dining
P&O Cruises has partnered with bestselling children’s cookery author and nutrition expert, Annabel Karmel, MBE, to launch a new range of meals onboard its family-friendly ships that will appeal to children and parents alike.
With over three decades of expertise to bring to the table, Annabel has worked with P&O Cruises culinary team to cook-up delicious, nutritious recipes. The new dishes offer fun twists on classic favourites as well as tasty worldly dishes, including teriyaki salmon fillets, grilled steak and vegan spaghetti bolognese, so there is something to please every young traveller.
“Children eat with their eyes, so every dish is packed with colour and flavour. My glazed chicken strips are a fun and healthy take on traditional nuggets. I’ve supercharged my spag bol with FIVE veggies. And we set sail across the globe with my famous fruity chicken curry. Even the pickiest of seafarers will love it!” comments Annabel Karmel.
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said, “Our family-friendly ships provide the most incredible experiences to bring the whole family together, and food is no exception. Annabel is a true icon in her field, and we can’t wait for our young guests to refuel on her delicious recipes, prepared by our experienced culinary team”.
The new menu will be available on the family-friendly ships from this summer.
