[helga_pataky]

При имеющейся численности рабочих, конечно, не имеет смысла проектировать столовую, где пища готовится «с нуля». Нормы допускают предусматривать столовую-раздаточную, как в нашем случае.

Cooking is done using primary food ingredients.

[Nina79]

[Faith24]

but no, flick, it IS called cooking from scratch :)
please trust us :)
TWO people attacking you now :)

[Nina79]

cooking from scratch is the way to say it 100%

Ok. from scratch it is. Was the first thing suggesting itself, but discarded by me as too obvious and therefore as misleading.

[Faith24]

not everything that's obvious is necessarily misleading :)
