Cooking and baking solutions
for the professional kitchen

Creating a new
cooking culture

SAGA Cooking Paper has been specially developed for all types of professional cooking and baking.
It is a unique, innovative brand inspired by kitchens throughout the world and created on years of experience.
The SAGA brand includes multipurpose food-grade and greaseproof cooking and baking papers,
deli bags and other products.
No muss,
no fuss
SAGA Cooking Paper makes preparing and
portioning food efficient and simple, whilst
making cooking, baking and storing food easier.
Large kitchens, restaurants and caterers can simplify
the food preparation workflow and deliver more
meals to generate more food revenue.
Down with
washing up
Protect dishes and baking tins against dirt and sticky
burns with SAGA papers. This means less detergent,
water and energy – and less wear and tear of dishes.
One quick rinse and your washing up is done.
Bring out
the aroma
SAGA Cooking Paper brings out the aroma of
your cooking ingredients. The taste is more intense
– and simply better. Serving food wrapped in the
paper is an experience for all senses. The intense
aroma of the food only escapes when the paper
pouch is opened at the table.
Goodies that are
good for you
Cooking with SAGA papers means more natural
vitamins and minerals are retained in the food.
Thanks to non-stick properties of the paper, you can
also avoid using unnecessary fat. As a result, you are
simply cooking much healthier food.
Cleanliness
is next to
tastiness
Greaseproof and wet-strong, SAGA paper makes
food handling hygienic by protecting ovens and
tabletops against food spills. When cooking or
preparing food, you can also keep the ingredients
apart by covering the chopping board or wrapping
them in SAGA paper.
A great
dissappearing act
SAGA Cooking Paper is made from renewable
raw materials from sustainably managed forests.
It is biodegradable, compostable and can
be incinerated.

One paper,
a hundred ways

SAGA Cooking Paper is ideal for any cooking from freezing to heating. The greaseproof, non-stick coating
prevents sticking and crusting on a baking or GN tray. The cooking paper is also steam- and boil-proof and
retains its shape. SAGA Cooking and Baking Papers can be used for all baking and confectionery, for example
as a piping bag for cream and chocolate or a stencil for cakes and pies.

Aubergine and Tomato Gratin
with Goat’s Cheese
Ingredients for 4 portions
2 aubergines
6 tomatoes
1 red onion
200 g goat’s cheese
fresh basil leaves
salt
black pepper
SAGA Cooking Paper (approx. 30 x 40 cm)
Slice the aubergines, tomatoes and red onion.
Break (or cut) the goat’s cheese into small pieces.
Dry fry the aubergines in a frying pan on each side until
golden brown. Prepare 4 SAGA boats (see page 12).
Stack the aubergine, tomato, red onion slices and basil
leaves alternately in the boats (just like stacking books
on a shelf) and season with salt and black pepper every
now and then.
Sprinkle the goat’s cheese on top and bake at 200°C
in the fan oven (220°C in the conventional oven) until
the cheese is golden brown.
TOP TIP: By using SAGA pouches, packages and boats,
you can cater to individual tastes by leaving out or
adding more ingredients.

Cover a GN tray with SAGA Cooking Paper. Wash the
salmon fillets briefly under running water and dab dry.

and pepper.

as required, then gently express. Process the oil,
bread and tarragon in a mixer to form a smooth mixture.

What your colleagues
have to say

Restaurant

Restaurant
Sa Garrafa, Spain
Arto Rastas, a renowned Finnish chef de cuisine, runs
two high-end restaurants and a Deli Shop in Tampere,
Finland. The restaurants ‘Hella & Huone’ and ‘Villa
Hakkari’ features sophisticated French cuisine with
a strong Scandinavian accent, the taste and local
ingredients being the priority elements. He also owns
and manages premises for the Culinary Institute where
cooking workshops and classes are held. In his business,
SAGA products are used daily in food preparation,
cooking and serving, as well take-away products.
“With the help of SAGA Cooking Paper I’ve created
a completely new way to cook. Its versatility, ease of
use and innovativeness makes it a perfect partner in
the kitchen. The fact that you can put the cooking paper
into boiling water and cook food wrapped in it has
helped us create new and healthier dishes. Moreover,
how cooking and especially steaming food in SAGA
paper preserves the natural aroma, succulence and
freshness of the ingredients has dazzled us all.”
Micky Vera is professional cook who runs his own restaurant
in Formentera in the Balearic Islands. He also
has a home catering service for those who have little
time for cooking or would like to organise a special
dinner party. He believes in healthy cooking and has
created several recipes that use SAGA Cooking Paper.
“Cooking with SAGA is very exciting as we can retain
the flavours of the ingredients while boiling or baking
in an oven – in fact its versatility means it can be used
from preparation to serving. I’ve been able to develop
several traditional Mediterranean dishes that use the
paper as part of the cooking process whether it’s a
starter, main course or a dessert. And the best thing
is – once you’ve finished, everything’s clean!”
