Chef’s note
I
t was on a sunny afternoon in August when I met the culinary team from IFFCO over a cup of coffee. During our conversation they asked if I would be interested in creating a recipe book that showcased the many facets of the Group from a culinary solution perspective. I smiled. I smiled because I thought to myself, this has to be the easiest and the toughest recipe book I would have created in all my years as a Chef. Easiest because IFFCO has such a large repertoire of brands and product lines, that almost any recipe I create will have at least 2-3 ingredients that can be provided by the Group. Toughest because, even by conservative estimates, IFFCO has over 100 products and products lines with further sub categories. It would require not one but
volumes of recipe books to showcase the entire spectrum of products. In this first collection, I’ve created some of the simplest recipes (with a few tough ones added to the mix) to satisfy a range of palates. We identified IFFCO products, some of which may be new to you, and used it to create a range of starters, mains and desserts. Putting together these recipes has been an enjoyable project for me and I would like to thank the entire team at IFFCO for this opportunity to revisit recipes that are hot-selling items on menus around the globe. Culinary Regards,
Uwe Micheel
