TAKE STOCK FROM THE EDITOR

Hi

www.takestockmagazine.com

VISIT US ONLINE

& Welcome

Welcome to the May/June edition of Take Stock. We hope you’ve got a spring in your step and are ready to leap into this jam-packed edition.

For example, TUCO’s (The University Caterers Organisation) competition and training event, held in March at the popular seaside resort of Blackpool, had its largest attendance to date. It saw a record number of competitors showcase their skills and talents at two venues - the Blackpool Hilton and Flyde College. The Hospitality Show, in Birmingham, Casual Dining Show at the Business Design Centre, in London, the NRB in Manchester, The International Food & Drink event at the ExCel London and ScotHot in Glasgow were successful show-stoppers, and our very own Today’s Trade Show held at Ascot was a right royal event! They all just prove what a thriving industry we work in - and Take Stock is committed to helping you keep one step ahead of the game.

Tweet us @TakeStockMag

In this issue, we raise a toast to our Cheers section with everything you need to know about the on-trade. And we hope the sun shines all summer long so you can cook al fresco and make full use of the tips and mouthwatering recipes of champion barbecue chef Ben Bartlett. The competition is really hotting up with our own #FeedYourEyes. Not only are the entries getting more creative thanks to our loyal (and genius!) Twitter followers, but now with the super support of Premier Foods, RH Amar and KerryMaid the winner of each category will receive a £50 Amazon voucher. So, what are you waiting for? Get cooking and start snapping! On behalf of the Take Stock team and Today’s, we hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together!

Photo Checklist Slightly angled shot Added props Taken near a window

Get Photo Smart

Attention to detail

Shots to avoid

A dish is no longer something that is enjoyed by the customer alone. Thanks to social media many more pairs of eyes are feasting on the visual delights of a dish making it even more crucial that your dishes look as appealing in photos as they do in real life. To help you get the best angle and come up with a winning shot for #FeedYourEyes - we asked photographer Kat Weatherill to give us a few professional tips.

1. Shoot in natural light

3. Angle the shot Take the pix at eye level or slightly above the plate. A bird’s eye view of a dish taken directly from above can look flat and you’ll lose the height and structure of the dish.

A table near a window is a great spot.

Coffee culture The coffee chains may have originally come from across the pond, but with 800,000 adults visiting a coffee shop in the UK at least four times a week, according to research by Kantar Media, quality coffee is now a top British beverage. From May 4-10 UK Coffee Week encourages coffee operators, trade professionals and customers to join together to celebrate British coffee culture.

(and some would argue favourite!) drink a good cuppa always hits the spot. Whether it’s a morning brew, used as a healing cure in a crisis or an essential afternoon pick me up, a nice cup of tea paired with a slice of cake makes the world a happier place! There’s now a huge variety of teas available and even if you do not offer a full-blown traditional afternoon tea, you are missing an opportunity if you don’t offer the customer some options. The fruit and herbal tea market is worth £65 million and green tea £30 million, according to Statista, proving that drinkers of speciality teas are an important group.
