Garden Gourmet launches toolkit

Plant-based meat alternative brand Garden Gourmet has partnered with the Sustainable Kitchen Consultants to produce a #flexupyourmenu toolkit to support foodservice operators in offering more plant-based dishes on their menus.

The toolkit includes expert advice and insight, handy, printable reference posters and a checklist for operators.

Julie Cleijne, founder of the Sustainable Kitchen Consultants, says: “It makes good commercial sense to cater to as many customers as possible, with some great plant-based options.”

Food trends update

Nostalgia trends keep on giving and the latest is jelly. Creative moulds and sophisticated flavours in pastel pinks and bright colours are the order of the day.

Jelly’s resurgence is put down to the wider retro vibe that’s growing across magazines and social media, even featuring on The Great British Bake Off, which sparked a wave of jelly art.
