Trends

As a chef, you must regularly keep an eye on the trends that define today's cuisine. Every year, several trends dominate kitchens, bars, patisseries, and restaurants. Consumers today are becoming more sensitive to dishes with unique flavors and an authentic story. More and more restaurants are opting for food that tastes and looks homemade but could just as easily be found in the frozen section at the store. Many supermarkets now also specialize to please the home cook. Natural ingredients are increasingly taken into account. Vegan products in particuar are gaining more attention these days. Wild foods, foraging, and vegetables are also taking an increasingly prominent place in today's cuisine. Meat is still commonly eaten, but that of great quality, not highly processed and from sustainable sources is preferred.

Cooking & Baking, 100% of the time

There are already a lot of cool innovations and developments that we use during cooking. For example, the cooktops that contain an integrated assistant. They give step-by-step guidance in everything you do. Various sensors monitor your cooking process and assist you when necessary. They suggest the ideal temperature and timing and set it for you. There are also quite a few kitchen robots that perfectly assist a chef during the preparation of meals.

I have been working in my own business for about a little over a year. Through various experiences and contacts with my customers, we have changed our menu several times during the year. We have evolved towards refined cuisine in an accessible and cozy setting. We now offer creative dishes prepared in a traditional and original way. We really notice that our customers attach great importance to intense yet fresh flavor combinations. With each dish on the menu, from appetizer to dessert, you will find a tip as well as additional information about the dishes. If you plan to switch up your menu regularly, it's necessary to know the latest food trends and keep your skills up to date. - Ex-student speaking
