Fascinating Future of Fast Food It is very exciting that Fast Food Professional will again be a partner with the Restaurant and Takeaway Expo 2018 and Street Food Live at Excel, London in September this year, and over the coming months you will be hearing all the news from us on these increasingly significant industry events. Recently, the “Sugar Tax” has been in the headlines with soft drinks manufacturers all having to either amend their recipes to reduce sugar levels or reduce the size of bottles but keep their original mix and also increase prices. This has a significant effect in our markets and is yet another challenge for operators to deal with. There is much talk about “Meat Taxes” of varying levels, with red meat forecast to be worst hit. Where the classification years ago used to be Omnivore or Vegetarian, we now have many more variations including vegan, pescatarian (fish), pollopescatarian (fish and poultry), flexatarian (a mix of meat and vegetarian diets) to name just a few. Add to that the many intolerances such as gluten and lactose and you can understand the need for traders to keep up-to-date with trends and developments and also to train staff so that they can answer customer questions. With a World focus on cutting both obesity and helping climate change by reducing the dependency of meat producing animals, the industry is faced with key targets to use Food Science to research and develop meat-free alternatives that will satisfy everyone’s taste. The future looks to be very interesting and challenging. Thank you, Athol

Top Tips from the Fryers Fresh Crisp Days of Spring As the fresh shoots of spring emerge, and our customers brave the evening air to come and buy their favourite take away, it’s a good time to think of ways you can help your food quality and your pocket. At Frymax, we want to help wherever we can, so why not check through this list of tips from the Frymax fryers and see how you can make the most of your oil, and also help you save costs.

Keeping it fresh… If Spring makes you think of spring cleaning, that’s also something you can do to help your oil last longer. No customer likes to see specs of dark or blackened crumbs coating their food. But it doesn’t have to get to that stage before particles of older food can start having a negative effect on your oil and your fried food flavour and quality. If you have an inbuilt filter system on your fryers, make sure it is used frequently and always, but safely, filter your oil when shutting down. Every time you fry a batch of food, especially anything sweet or salty like onion rings or battered items, be very careful to remove all possible crumbs, as these rapidly increase the rate your oil goes off. A good skimming tool and instructions to all your staff to use it often can really help extend the life and quality of your oil.

Keeping it clean... But also be wary when you are doing a full clean down. After cleaning fryers with detergent or degreasing agents and even when wiping down surfaces, make absolutely sure none of the detergent gets into your oil or is left in the system. Rinsing and drying are critical to removing the detergent which is another enemy to your oil’s life, and can cause safety issues when it promotes foaming. If you have any questions or want to add any of your own top tips, please contact us via the details below.

David Henley always fries in David Henley has run a successful, award winning fish and chip shop for over 15 years. His secret is simple, to produce great tasting fish and chips every time. To achieve this, David has built up a store of knowledge as to which are the best ingredients to use and in particular which frying medium will deliver consistent results every time ...and that frying medium is Frymax. He knows that Frymax is pure white sustainable premium palm, made from the highest quality raw materials. And that there is none better at giving long lasting performance, which is so important in the current economic climate. Frymax has rightly earned the reputation as the number one cooking oil. It is as good today as it was when launched all those years ago. David Henley recognises its worth and the role Frymax plays in making his fish and chips taste really great.

“Ice cream is undoubtedly a favourite of children and adults alike, so adding a selection of soft-serve offerings to your menu can be an easy way to ensure your menu appeals a wide range of customers.

oft serve ice cream machines come in a range of sizes and styles in order to meet individual operators’ needs. Carpigiani is a global leader in the manufacture of ice cream equipment offer a wide-ranging number of both floor

standing and countertop appliances, with a choice of one or two flavours. Simple to operate and maintain, a Carpigiani soft serve machine will produce wonderfully smooth and indulgent soft ice cream. The new Carpigiani 161 series of soft serve models is the perfect choice for venues where space is at a premium. Offering a real breakthrough in soft serve ice cream technology, the 161 combines state-of the art technology with features usually reserved for larger, floor standing models, including a self-pasteurising model. What’s more, the unique design of the 161 range means a footprint of just 300mm x 630mm x 850 mm (w/d/h). The New 161 range uses cooled technology, generating flow through a removable air filter at the base of the unit, channelling hot air exiting at the top. This not only improves efficiency, but also allows the unit to be positioned directly next to another appliance, for even greater space efficiency on a limited countertop. A contemporary stainless-steel counter top design, complete with multifunctional display, standard 13-amp plug-and-go operation (never before available for a selfpasteurising model) and the ability to be connected to our wireless Teorema software gives operators the choice of using our unique remote monitoring and diagnostic software, means an easy to use appliance, with an impressive hourly output of up to 15kg. As with the other models our soft serve range, the new Carpigiani 161 is fitted with a unique tank agitator to ensure an exceptional product consistency, while also allowing operators to serve frozen yoghurt without risking a separation of the mix. Staff will also enjoy using the 161 G SP model as it comes with an automatic self-pasteurisation function, which is capable of achieving an extraordinary 42 day cleaning cycle. A heated cylinder function quickly defrosts the chamber to further speed up the process of manual cleaning when required.”

A concept created by a group of forward thinking students in hopes of solving a problem they found ourselves facing - being priced out of wholesome and delicious food. Along the way, they added in some MichelinStar magic with Chef Daniel Boulud. They are now excited to welcome one and all to the world of Spyce, at 241 Washington Street in Boston. The Philosophy

just cut to the chase and say adjacent is best.

Is it sanitary? That’s one of the best parts. The robotic kitchen is certified by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation), and cleans and sanitizes the cooking woks after every meal. It’s programmed to monitor cooking, refrigeration and water temperatures, and all components in the refrigerator that touch food are removed and cleaned by the crew regularly. There is a door on the top of the refrigerator and they pour the ingredients into the food hoppers from above. Continued

It allows them to plate a meal and move a bowl out of the way, so they can wash the wok. This means they can start the next meal with a clean wok as quickly as possible. Of course, it also looks super cool. All meals are cooked to order in three minutes or less The only inputs are electricity and water. They’re all set for a 100% renewable energy country, that’s coming up soon, right?

The Michelin Man “When Michael and his three classmates emailed me about a robotic kitchen that could elevate fast food, I was impressed. Not only had they guessed my email address correctly, the videolink to their cutting edge technology was unlike anything I’d seen before. The experience of the robotic kitchen, the food and the vision of the Spyce team far exceeded my expectations. Their passion and innovation needed a strong commitment to ingredients and excellent recipes. So, in addition to becoming an investor, I accepted the position of Culinary Director, and invited Chef Sam Benson, who had worked for me at Café Boulud, to take on the Executive Chef role.”

Brady Knight, “The Spyce Boys”

The Spyce Boys “We were four really hungry MIT students and water polo teammates tired of spending $10 on take-out lunches and dinners. Our athletic appetites required better nutrition but our student budgets didn’t allow for that kind of expense. While we ate our bland chopped salads and stir-frys, we dreamed of an alternative: a robot that cooked tasty and nutritious meals, served them, and cleaned up after. We were all robotics-obsessed engineers, so we quit yapping and built one in our fraternity basement. Two years and many burns, bruises, and brussel sprouts later, we’re opening our first restaurant and we couldn’t be more excited.” 46

About the Menu They put a lot of thought into what makes a good meal. First, everything has to taste great, so the recipes are inspired by the most delicious spices, flavours and textures from around the world. It’s also nice to have choices, so each one of our bowls can be customized to your taste and they have vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options. Finally, they know the importance of presentation, and the Garde Manger (pronounced gar-mahn-jey) will apply the finishing touches. They want the food to look as good as it tastes.

1 in 5 meals eaten out of home as European consumers favour service over home cooking A new European report on Out of Home foodservice sales from IRI highlights an increase in eating out throughout the day added €4.1bn to food service sales in 2017

ore flexible menus and an increase of meal occasions from breakfast and all day brunch through to dinner has led to a €4.1bn increase

in food service sales in 2017 to €335.9bn according to a new report launched today by IRI GIRA Foodservice. One in five meals (18% of all meals) are consumed outside the home. IRI GIRA Foodservice believes that increasingly fluid families – in particular fewer families with children and more single parent or single occupant homes – and more people working away from home has led to greater demand for convenient meal solutions. According to Virginie Pernin, Chief Analyst at IRI GIRA Foodservice, “Restaurants and other food service outlets have capitalised on these trends by providing options for more meal occasions including breakfast and brunch. It is easier to eat out rather than buy food and cook at home. Food delivery services such as Deliveroo that provide easier ways to order, pay and deliver, are behind the boom in restaurant food at home. Despite sales of ready meals and meal kits in supermarkets also catering to the trend for convenient ‘ready meal’ solutions – with sales in Europe* at €8.3bn in 2017- it seems many Europeans prefer their ‘eat out’ to be eaten in.” IRI GIRA Foodservice predicts the number of commercial kitchens that are dedicated to food delivery through companies like Just Eat, UberEats, Amazon Restaurants and Deliveroo - which has just launched a global advertising campaign to showcase the breadth of food available on its service - will increase by 2020 with a particular focus on healthier and premium options.

•

The Top 15 food service groups in this market generate 39% of turnover.

• Foodservice represents €111bn of food purchases – 70% of these are food with 30% being beverages. Other key trends: • Celebrity chefs drive increase in premium eating occasions. • Healthy and sustainable eating out – Superfood, green and protein food trends lead to a rise in restaurants sourcing local and healthier food items for their menus. The emphasis is on the origin of the product and additive free. • Consumers spend more when they order online or through an app. This provides an opportunity for restaurants to capture new customers using technology and packaging without compromising on food quality, which is often the route to increased margins in food service. • Hot spots – restaurants that have branded themselves with clear and meaningful positioning appeal to consumers. • Blurring of the boundaries between table service, selfservice and quick service restaurants with some concepts offering a mixture of all services. • Increased demand for ‘food to go’ in service stations and convenience stores. “The food service sector is facing a challenging paradoxical environment, but the pace of change will intensify in the framework of dynamic, emerging players and evolving consumer needs,” added Virginie Pernin, Chief Analyst at IRI GIRA Foodservice. “Digitalisation provides a huge opportunity for the food service sector as we have already seen with the success
