Unilever Food Solutions has revealed its first Future Menus Trend Report 2023, which has been developed to provide tomorrow’s menus for today’s chefs showing the latest trends with insight and collaboration from more than 1,600 chefs in over 25 countries.
The report was launched locally in the Middle East during which more than 60 leading chefs and food industry experts had the opportunity to learn more about future trends while tasting evolved menus as part of a culinary showcase.
“Identifying the hottest global trends is critical in our quest to provide solutions for chefs, who are contending with challenges ranging from labour shortages to tackling sustainability issues like food waste,” noted Hanneke Faber, President of Nutrition Unilever.
Speaking at the event, Unilever’s Executive Chef for the Gulf & Indian Ocean Islands, Chef Joanne Limoanco Gendrano, addressed the growing trend of Low-Waste menus that make clever use of ingredients to help reduce food waste and cost while maintaining maximum flavours in dishes.
“Our Future Menus Trend Report 2023 has been designed to empower chefs in the UAE and broader Middle East region to keep up with industry trends and customer expectations through recipes, techniques, and training,” commented Fouad Sherine, Country Head Arabia, Unilever Food Solutions.
