THE SEVEN STAR LUXURY TEA EXPERIENCE

FINE DINING Tea is a great accompaniment to food, to enhance flavour as well as a palate cleanser between dishes. Dilmah tea helps craft a whole new dining experience for guests with its variety and quality, where it encompasses the idea of taking tea beyond the cup into a whole new level of luxurious indulgence though tea gastronomy.

Dilmah is much more than a brand of tea, it is an uncompromising promise of quality. Merrill J. Fernando, an artisan teamaker who is driven by his passion for tea and a desire to share the luxury and natural goodness in Ceylon tea, is the same teamaker behind the world’s best tea. Decades of an extraordinary love for tea gave Dilmah the unquenchable spirit it has today.

“I devoted my life to tea, and built our family business on a commitment to quality and integrity. 66 years since I had resolved to do so, I offer you Ceylon’s Finest Tea, each tea handpicked for quality and made with integrity. Do try it!”

LOBBY / LOUNGE The all-day dining restaurant, coffee shop, lobby or lounge areas offer excellent opportunities to present an All Day Tea Service which combines quality, variety and an intelligent approach to tea. A choice of specialty or boutique teas can be offered, depending on the exact profile of the venue and guest.

BUSINESS CENTRE In Asian cultures, the enjoyment of a different tea at different times of the day is an experience that is relished and also known to enhance productivity by calming the mind and facilitating concentration. Offering a selection of teas in a business centre would be an important element especially for Asian businessmen and businesswomen who might use your facility.

www.sevenstartea.com


The Dilmah Seven Star Luxury Tea Experience is designed to offer a unique experience in tea to guests in any hospitality situation with Dilmah’s wide range of products specially created for the travel and hospitality sectors.

BAR

BANQUETS

CAFÉS

A bar presents an opportunity to serve a range of teas to the discerning tea drinker. Through our mixology program we are engaging Mixologists and Barmen, making them aware of the value of real tea. From hot teas to iced teas, t-shots, tea cocktails and tea mocktails, tea mixology can transform a bar to a whole new experience.

A tea break is an experience that can be relished and is also known for calming the mind and facilitating concentration. The presentation of a water boiler, a wooden luxury presenter with 6 -12 teas with a menu card which gives information on tea and the right serving accessories will help provide a rejuvenating tea break.

It is important to keep things simple when providing a tea program for cafés. A selection of 4-6 teas presented in the Dilmah vertical luxury timber presenter- a two tiered presenter featuring the relevant tasting note which can be customised according to the required teas. The presenter is ideal for use in cafés for the presentation and serving of tea.

POOL BAR TEA EXPERIENCE

WELCOME DRINK

AROMATHERAPY / SPA

While your guests relax reading their favourite book or lounging by the side of the pool. Offer an indulgent variety of delicious Dilmah teas served as cocktails, mocktails or even t-Shakes. Serve iced drinks during Summer and a selection of warm comforters during the colder seasons. A selection of recipes can be offered depending on the requirement of the venue.

Welcoming a guest with tea is an ancient tradition across Asia and Africa. It symbolises the warmth of the welcome by offering a beverage that is pure, natural, healthy, and most importantly, refreshing. Guests arriving at your restaurant, hotel or resort could be treated to this ancient mark of welcome and hospitality with tea served hot or iced.

Offering tea at a spa not only enhances the healthful aspect of the spa but also offers all the goodness and health benefits of tea. Offer a selection of green teas and herbal infusions that are soothing on their own, served chilled or hot. Or offer a range of spa tea mocktails, created especially to calm the mind and body.

GUEST ROOMS AND SUITES

DELICATESSEN

t-LOUNGE

Presenting a very special tea experience to guests in rooms and suites is important. The combination of variety and the intelligent presentation of teas with the right accessories for preparation and enjoyment offer a luxurious, different and yet cost effective way of making your guest feel special. Select from our range of teas and accessories that best suit your requirement.

Tea is a traditional accompaniment to cakes and pastries and is the perfect element in a quality delicatessen outlet. Offered for consumption on premises where facilities are available or for purchase as a gift, tea is a natural extension of the deliciously indulgent cakes and pastries that a quality hotel or independent delicatessen outlet may offer.

A t-Lounge offers a space to unwind and relax while enjoying different teas including tea based food and beverages.

RAGNAR FRIDRIKSSON – LEFT Managing Director, Head Office

ANDREEA MOCANU – LEFT Administrative Assistant, Head Office

“My best memory is sitting on the lap of Michel Escoffier, with President Christian Millet and director Pierre Miecaze in the French bistro booth.”

My best memory is the rooftop poolside party at the welcome reception and the election of the new president. Seeing the chillout and relaxed side of chefs at the opening receiption and the excitement of the election were both great experiences.

“My best memory is the “Ragnar, Andy and Jessica’ dance for Charles Caroll to the tune of “Oh, Carol!” during Gala Dinner. It was hilarious!”

WORLDCHEFS – MEET THE NEW PRESIDIUM

HELLO, MR PRESIDENT Thomas Gugler, the newly elected President at the Worldchefs Congress 2016 shares his experience as President.

What was the first thing you set out to do when you were voted as the President? It was very clear for me. I asked every country President to appoint 1 ambassador for World Chefs Without Borders as I feel it is obligatory in this day and age that we have one chef ambassador per country for humanitarian. How has it been (one month since you became President)? The first days were amazing, crazy and unbelievable. I had thousands of messages, texts, notes and so on. Many people approached me, called me, the media was super active and definitely it was a once in a lifetime experience. This has always been a childhood dream. After some days, routine got back and traveling started. I attended the HORECA in Jordan, the second event was then the QCP (Qatar Culinary Professionals) Event in Qatar and from there directly to Kharkiv/Ukraine, and then to IKA in Erfurt. Finally, I attended the HACE in Cairo for the ECA (Egyptian Chefs Association). It’s been a calendar full of events, missions and tasks to fulfill. Great experience! Have things changed? Things are in progress to be changed and modified, as we want only the best for our members. We want all the associations to be in tip-top position. We appointed dedicated team members and individuals for special tasks. We can shine and achieve our missions, visions and goals. Name ONE thing you hope to achieve in 2017. I wish for 2017 to have more member countries within the Worldchefs community and we are striving hard to achieve this mission. Worldchefs to me means... ... a well respected professional society keeping the highest ethics and standards to serve all their members and to develop the culinary world and hospitality industry according to the latest trends and visions. My wish for Worldchefs in 2017 is... ...that we will achieve our wishes and dreams. We must be united and help each other, grow our community and continue an excellent relationship with our partners, sponsors and supporters. On a personal note, I wish for “Peace around the world”.

MARTIN KOBALD

UWE MICHEEL

I am originally from Austria, so my first language is German. I always wanted to become a pilot but I could not speak English, so I changed my mind and I followed my next dream to become a chef. Like so many chefs, I was inspired by my grandmother. I have not regretted it for a second.

The food of my grandmother and my mother’s amazing food that required no recipes. What has been your biggest achievement so far as a chef?

VICE PRESIDENT – SOUTH AFRICA / AUSTRIA What inspired you to be a chef?

What has been your biggest achievement so far as a chef? To be the convenor of the WorldChefs Tour Against Hunger in 2011 and raising over 8 million South African Rand (+/- 550 000 Euro). Secondly, opening three cooking schools ( ChefMLK School of Cooking ) to train the future generation of chefs. What was the first thing you set out to do when you were voted as the presidium? Educate myself with everything Worldchefs has done and achieved in Education. Name ONE thing you hope to achieve in 2017. To increase communication between chefs around the world. Worldchefs to me means... ...Education, sustainable foods, feeding the world and being involved in competitions so that we can learn from each other.

ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT – UNITED ARAB EMIRATES What inspired you to be a chef?

My biggest achievement is developing Young Chefs, getting emails from Team Mates (Young Chefs) who are not Corporate Chefs or Executive chefs who thank me and keep in touch. To be in the food & beverage world means more to me than just holding a trophy – you live it! What was the first thing you set out to do when you were voted as the presidium? Work on communication with colleagues worldwide and to strengthen World Chefs Without Borders. Name ONE thing you hope to achieve in 2017. For the Presidium to agree with a full plan. We meet in December in Abu Dhabi and we aim to communicate with all the member countries in the following years. We hope to strengthen what is good and to improve what needs to. Worldchefs to me means... ...a big group of great professionals worldwide which are working and networking together and sharing knowledge and strengthen our great profession. WWW.WORLDCHEFS.ORG

DUTCH VEAL with worldwide a llure

ALL OVER THE WORLD In recent years, veal has enjoyed growing popularity, as consumers increasingly recognise and appreciate its outstanding qualities. This delicious, tender and lean meat works wonderfully in all kinds of dishes and with all kinds of flavours. ORIGIN IN DAIRY FARMING In fact veal is a by-product of dairy farming. After all, a cow will only produce milk if it gives birth to a calf every year. Approximately around one third of the calves born are used by dairy farmers to replace or supplement their livestock, and the other animals become available for meat production. INDISPUTABLE QUALITY The VanDrie Group is the global market leader in veal. It exports to over 60 countries. Such a position does not come without duties and responsibilities. After all, the ever critical consumers must be able to have blind faith that their veal is produced in a socially responsible and safe manner. RESPECT FOR PEOPLE AND ANIMALS The VanDrie Group can make these guarantees thanks to its integrated chain production system - a comprehensive quality system that safeguards food safety and animal welfare. This quality assurance policy ensures that even the strictest requirements of the most demanding countries are met. BETER LEVEN SEAL OF APPROVAL The veal supplied by the VanDrie Group bears the one-star Beter Leven (Better Life) seal of approval awarded by the Dutch Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The criteria include calves being fed extra fibre-rich roughage to encourage natural remuneration behaviour, a soft area for each calf to lie, and animal-friendly transport.

WORLDCHEFS NEWS A HEART FOR HAITI When Hurricane Matthew hit, young chefs from Johnson & Wales in Rhonde Island rose to the occasion. Ray McCue fromWorld Chefs without Borders shares. “As a professor at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island, I brought the news of the storm to the attention of my students. Within a matter of hours, many of them were asking “Chef, what can we do to help?” Johnson & Wales students in the Culinaria Latina Club felt a need to answer the call and stepped up to the plate. Culinaria Latina promotes Latin American culture through food, music, and history along with other aspects at Johnson & Wales events, competitions and club meetings. They strive to help the greater community through fundraisers and volunteer work. The Culinaria Latina JWU students, with the help of club advisor Chef Valeria Molinelli, arranged a 6-course fundraising dinner with a goal to raise $1000.00 USD. Being a chef for more years than I care to reveal, I was in awe of these young chefs coming together for such a worthy cause. Not one of them asking “What’s in it for me?” Well, I am pleased to report they surpassed their goal and raised $1,200.00 USD.” 14 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

“THE WORLD’S BEST PAN” PARTNERS WORLDCHEFS We are proud to partner AMT Gastroguss and here are just 3 reasons why. EXPERTISE AMT is backed by years of expertise in the entire production chain, and prides itself as a manufacturer of extremely high quality aluminium cookware – from design to the finished product.

HAND-CASTED

NEW @ WORLDCHEFS Meet Connie Lau, the Senior Project Manager, our dynamite in the Head office. You changed your career halfway and wanted to be a chef? What prompted you to do that? I have been working in the engineering industry for the last 10 years where the time schedule can be very tough! Imagine 80 hours per week, without any weekends for 5 weeks while on a mission in a nuclear power plant. One day I told myself that while I liked the challenging environment, it would be better for me to put all that hard work towards something I love. Following my passion for cooking, I made the plunge in 2015 and moved from Switzerland to Paris to learn French cuisine at Ferrandi Paris. I have 2 dreams in my life. I wanted to work in a cuisine related industry or work for NGOs in order to do something good for people. As I love project managing, Worldchefs allows me to accomplish both at one go! What’s your favourite memory of being part of Worldchefs so far? While I was at the IKA Culinary Olympics, I had a chance to taste dishes from the Young Chef Competition Dinner (British Team). I really enjoyed the dishes, and to see how proud the chefs and their families were. How do you hope to contribute to Worldchefs? After working for many years in a highly regulated industry, I am trained to be organized with deadlines and I believe we can make things happen. I hope to share my organizational and project management skills and guide the office team to grow and develop. What are you looking forward to in 2017? After I did the culinary school and worked in a restaurant, I found that the chef industry is a very tough and intense environment. I respect chefs and the industry a lot and I would like to do something to contribute to the industry and in 2017, one of my goals will be to help set up the structure and work with Worldchefs to be even more organized and to get even better results! 16 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

The factory produces cookware with consuming hand-casting method with the strictest control, achieving a unique relaxed structure without pores, which provides the basis for a distortionfree soil and thus, energy-efficient cooking.

THE HIDDEN LIGHT Maurice O’Flynn, founder and editor of www.champchefs.com, who strove to keep a record of competition results around the world, was a known force for chasing up information, despite his challenges. Here are the tributes from fellow chefs. “Maurice O’Flynn was an extraordinary character who had a big heart and this heart was for his family and the World of Chefs. After his competition feats which were many, he realized that the heroes of these events who put in a lot of work for their countries were near forgotten and he wanted to do something about it, ChampChefs was created and is now his legacy. In our professional world, chefs receive a number of accolades, which are rewarded in various ways, Maurice did not look for these rewards, the rewards he got was sharing great memories with the world. I feel blessed to have known the man and to be able to call him a friend – rest in peace mate.” – Rick Stephen “Maurice moved to Canada in 1974, he landed in Montreal and took a long train ride to Calgary Alberta, and finally settled in Edmonton, Alberta, where he had his son RyanHe always spoke his mind, which is a rare quality these days and often resulted in long discussions and unfortunately, occasionally also lost friends as often Maurice’s openness and frankness was not always well received. But never the less, he always stayed true to himself and his values. Maurice was a believer in dreams to the extent that they give promise to a tangible outcome. His passion in the culinary scene helped to bring light to a new era in the city of Edmonton which was also recognized internationally.

He was a founding member and Executive Director of the Alberta Culinary Arts Foundation from 1983-1993, leading the Canadian Culinary Olympic National team to win gold at the 1992 Olympics in Frankfurt, as well as receiving many other accolades. His son, Ryan shares the same passion in the culinary world sharing the philosophy “silver never suited us” and has led Ryan to win the prestigious Canadian National Championships in 2015. I was lucky enough to meet Maurice in 2001 when I moved to Canada and we shared many fine moments together with our mutual friends. His passion was still going strong and we had many great discussions about Culinary teams from the past, the present and also often wondered where the scene is heading towards too. Maurice went digital later on and launched the champchefs archives online – his aim was to collect as many stories and culinary teams from around the world and make them accessible in place . A project for which he was honored with an award by the World Association of Chefs Societies in 2012. Maurice became a great mentor of mine who taught me many things – most importantly that without passion, beliefs and dreams no life is worth living. Maurice was at times larger than life – but he always had his heart in the right place and more than anything embraced the beauty of the moment.“ – Rolf Knecht

WORLDCHEFS – FEED THE PLANET - SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION

THE ‘S’ WORD The role that chefs play today is far bigger than just putting food on a plate. Christopher Koetke shares the next big project that the Worldchefs Feed the Planet committee has developed – the Sustainability Curriculum, which he played a major part in. When implemented globally, chefs will help shape the environment. He shares his experience. BY CHRISTOPHER KOETKE – CEC, CCE, HAAC

20 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE


WORLDCHEFS – FEED THE PLANET - SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION

A little over two years ago, we gathered in Stavanger, Norway as a global community of chefs. During this congress, Worldchefs committed to pursue a leadership position on one of the most pressing global issues—sustainability. In Stavanger, we heard from global sustainability experts like Julian Cribb who challenged us to champion sustainability as recognized leaders in food and cooking. I am happy to report that we have embraced this challenge and that sustainability is a key objective within Worldchefs. Following the congress, a task force within Worldchefs determined that education was a key priority needed to empower chef ’s (and future chef ’s!) decision-making. To that end, we sought to create a short sustainability curriculum for World Chef members and schools. The curriculum was designed to not get overly burdened in a highly technical material, but at the same time, still present important concepts in an accessible way. With the financial support of Unilever and now the added support of Electrolux and input from many experts, the sustainability curriculum was written.

THE CURRICULUM Developing a curriculum that can be taught around the world is not an easy task. Sustainability is a very complex and diverse topic—and one that is changing continually. While the concepts are global, how they play out locally is unique. Thus, each day of the curriculum consists of the global issues, applying these issues locally, exploring how the issues intersect with the foodservice world, and applying the issues personally. In this way, this curriculum is not just a theory lesson about big global concerns, but a lesson with direct relevance for our restaurants and kitchens. The curriculum is divided into 7 lessons: general issues, agriculture, animal husbandry, seafood, energy, water, and waste. Each day’s lesson contains all the information needed to teach the course: power point presentation, detailed lesson plan, activity ideas, quizzes, and plentiful notes and additional resources for the instructors. To make the course come alive, those teaching the curriculum have the responsibility to research their own locales to add local and/or regional examples. Once the curriculum was developed, it was beta-tested at 4 educational institutions across the globe. The feedback was exceedingly positive. The institutions appreciated the fact that this curriculum is flexible. It can be taught as one unit or can be added to different pre-existing classes. It can also be taught over a series of chef organization meetings for professional chefs. I commend the Worldchefs leadership on their vision toward sustainability. I applaud the membership for supporting this vision. I congratulate those who worked to create this sustainability curriculum. Now, it is there for you to use for the betterment of our professional and the future of our planet. I encourage you to go to www.feedtheplanet.worldchefs.org/to learn more about the curriculum. Fill out the application and we are ready to help you implement the curriculum.

This curriculum is offered to all of the Worldchefs Recognised culinary schools for application.

This is because you would be watching the international cast of speakers, lined up one after another, soaking in their expanse of knowledge. “There was just so much to learn, and you realise how diverse the world is. It would be rare to get such an experience any other way in the world,” says one young chef from Asia.

Being a chef is not just about standing at the stove. From butchery by the passionate Italian butcher Dario, to the art of tea by the Dilmah family, there was much knowledge shared.

WORLDCHEFS – WITHOUT BORDERS

FINDING HUMANITY Christos Gkotsis, World Chefs Without Borders ambassador from Greece, shares how the chefs from the country joined hands to cook for the Syrian refugees over 8 months. What inspired you to embark on this project? It was the huge concentration of refugees in Idomeni camp, where more than 8,000 people were stranded in very difficult conditions. Plus, we heard reports from aid agencies that many refugees lacked adequate basic services including food, water and accommodation. What was the need? Our initiative lasted for about 8 months. During the first month we prepared for the refugees 700-800 portions of food on a daily basis and in the last months we reached 2,500-3,000 portions.The situation was very difficult and was getting worse because of the increasing number of refugees coming from Syria. How did the Greeks feel about the refugee situation? We felt the need to help refugees. We have spoken o the government and NGOs to provide much-needed manpower. A big part of the food and clothes donations came from the Greek citizens. How many chefs were involved in this initiative? Every day, there were 15 chefs and around 20 volunteers who went to Idomeni camp in order to help cook for the refugees. I would like to thank the members of Chefs Association of Northern Greece, who prepared food for the refugees on a daily basis for eight months. I would also like to thank Chef Dimitrios 46 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

Kyriakopoulos, Maria Tsogmelidou, Xaralampos Kalogeridis, Eirini Tsiolaki, Xrysanthos Tsogmelidis. We could not have done it without Doctors without Borders, the NGO Oikopolis, the Evangelical Church and the NGO’s Praxis and Loving Solidarity, whose help was valuable. Tell us about the planning process. How long did it take and what did you do. After our first visit in June 2015, we saw the urgent need and started preparing small portions of food in a tent outside the campus. The planning process was completed after 5 months, in November 2015, because we had to organize all the actions needed to raise the 2 containers where we cooked and distributed the food. We also needed to gather the experienced chefs and the volunteers. What dishes did you cook? We served 2,500-3, 000 hot meals every day, which included mainly legumes and vegetables and were based on the ingredients we had available from donations. What were the challenges? The camp was lacking sufficient hot water and hygiene facilities. Consequently there was a lot of disease – mainly respiratory. At night you could hear children coughing continuously in tents.


WORLDCHEFS – WITHOUT BORDERS

Also, everyone had to huddle against the freezing cold in the fields of Idomeni. We tried to build key relationships with all the other groups and organizations working on the frontline so that we could continue our initiative in providing basic humanitarian aid. The situation was appalling but we did everything in our power to alleviate some of the suffering. What was the most memorable experience for you? There was a day in the camp when I distributed hot food to small children and I can still remember the thankful look in their eyes. How do you feel you have grown as a chef/human being after this project? I realize the strength people can show, as there were refugees who were open and welcoming although they had gone through terrible situations. There were also beautiful moments which showed you how small things can mean something, how you can encourage somebody simply by treating him or her as a human being. Why did you stop after 7 months? The Idomeni camp was evacuated and the 8, 000 refugees were moved from the makeshift Idomeni camp border to other organized facilities and shelters in Thessaloniki. Do you feel it was worth the effort? Absolutely. This initiative helped me remember that our goal as human beings is to always try to defend the ethics of humanity and solidarity and it’s the first time I felt this way in my life. I would do it over again, anytime.

IN&OUT OF THE KITCHEN FIGGJO UNDRING – Your Canvas for your Masterpiece

Award winning designer, Lars Tornøe., designed this plate: A hole grows up from the surface, both impressive and surreal at the same time. The circular shapes, one large and one small, give the Figgjo Undring an almost iconic character. The bowls in three sizes can be used for everything from serving a side of sauce, gratin, garnish, marmalade, smoothie – or as a small vase of flowers. Figgjo Undring is an event both for the person preparing the food and for the person eating. The plate also works well without the bowls. Then the hole on its own appears as an exciting design element. The low profile makes the plate pleasant to eat off. It is perceived as being stable and low, and it is easy to access with cutlery. In addition to holding bowls, the hole can be used in creative ways. You can use the plate as a palette, hang it on the wall or place table decorations in the hole. The possibilities are endless! 50 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

WASABI IS NOT JUST WASABI… Here are 3 things you need to know when grating wasabi from its root.

1) Wasabi can not be or should not be simply grated by a normal metal grater, like for Chinese radish or for hard type cheeses, but by specially designed ‘same-gawa’ (sharkskin) grater. The difference is obvious at a glance because the materials and roughness of the surfaces, their basic purposes and underlying conceptions on grating are completely different. The way and movement of grating is also different and very important. For wasabi, simple reciprocating motion is not enough and additional swirling around action is desirable.

2) Grated wasabi paste might be kept in a tight place, not a metallic, only for a few minutes to reduce some harshness and to get a milder flavour, or for the same purpose, a pinch of sugar could be put on the grater when grating.

3) The rest unused part can be preserved in good condition up to one month in a refrigerator by enveloping with wet paper towel and film wrapping or dipping it in a cup with water. Paper or water needs to be replaced every day.

FOOD FOREVER Lars Charas, the co-ordinator of Feeding Good (the global movement for and by chefs to find solutions for the world food problem) has launched “Food Forever”, a new book that challenges readers to reconsider the food challenges we are facing. In particular, the end of the food chain, namely chefs, hospitality and consumers, could contribute to the question: ’how to feed the planet in the future?’. And even more important what is the impact of a changing planet on our lifestyle and economy? The book consists of 50 interviews with leading chefs and scientists and 70 interesting experimental recipes that show a glimpse of tomorrow’s food. According to Charas, changing diets is the central pillar for solutions in the years to come. Themes like growing and richer populations, climate change, biodiversity and plenty of other societal issues are covered succinctly to redefine the concept of sustainable food. This time from a consumer point of view, called resilient food cultures. Chefs, the professional consumer, the guardians of food cultures who influence what and how we eat, are the people to lead a worldwide movement to create culinary playgrounds. These culinary playgrounds are the place to experiment with our changing diets. Starting these culinary playgrounds is the goal of the international Feeding Good movement and the book ‘Food Forever’ is the first step towards creating these global and regional playgrounds. 52 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

Dilmah Tea as a marinade: Dilmah Earl Grey tea, left in the teapot at the end of teatime can be used in your favorite marinade for chicken breasts which will give you an out-of-this-world addition that will have your guests wondering where the mysterious (yet familiar) flavour came from. As a vegetarian digression, tea marinated tofu is a wonderful substitution in this dish. Dilmah Tea as a tenderizer: Among many benefits and effects of tea, it is an efficient tenderizer. Adding Dilmah tea as a tenderizer will give you that falls-off-the-bone, melts-in-your-mouth effect making a good dish, great.

TOP CLASS REFRIGERATION Based on the EU energy label, the new generation of Electrolux Professional’s ecostore refrigeration, ecostoreHP, is already compatible with the requirements of top classes, being a leading range for energy efficiency, storage capacity and performance.

Dilmah Tea as a dessert: It is a fairly common practice to take tea after a meal. But what about tea as the dessert? This trend is quickly building popularity in the food industry and is revolutionizing the way we think about our after-dinner sweets. Most people have been introduced to Green Tea Sorbet, but what about Dilmah Earl Grey tea truffles or a Jasmine Ganache made with Dilmah Jasmine Green tea? Because many teas take sugar well, it is sensible to conclude that many sweets would take tea well. Countless bakers and chocolatiers are adapting and adding new recipes to include the wonderful hints that tea can add. Tea, it seems, is not only a refreshing, delicious and healthy beverage, but also one of the most versatile and interesting ingredients that is now becoming more and more popular in the western culinary industry. I recommend that you consider using your favourite teas in your culinary exploration. Like what many chefs say about cooking with wine (“Do not cook with a wine that you wouldn’t drink”), for the best results, use the teas that best fit your tastes. You are limited only by your imagination in this journey for the search of new ways to take your tea.”

A professional refrigerator wastes 10 times more than a domestic version. Therefore the EU energy label can really make the difference when it comes to restaurateurs consciously choosing their ideal cabinet with objective information at their disposal. The development of the ecostore range was based on extensive customer insight, which highlighted the storage capacity as one of the most important benefits of professional cabinets: the net volume allows the improved possibility to select the number and typology of appliances to purchase. ecostoreHP offers the highest real usable space for food storage available on the market: 50 litres more compared to market average for single door cabinets and 120 litres more compared to market average for double door cabinets. The new labelling scheme also indicates the capability of the product to guarantee the best performances in heavy duty working conditions, and classifies ecostoreHP as level 5, meaning the cabinet can perform at 40°C ambient temperature and 40% humidity.

A SHARED

INDULGENCE All around the world, desserts are tied to emotions and memories. The treat you serve today could become an experience your guests will continue to savor, just like these experiences shared by Nestlé Professional employees.

MAKING TIME AND COOKIES

IN DEFENCE OF FRUITCAKE

My son occasionally tells me that he wishes he had more time with me, and as a working mother, sometimes this is just not possible. I do try to make our time together more memorable by making cookies from scratch. As teenagers, my sister and I would make cakes and cookies on the weekends so this was a family tradition that I wanted to share with my son. I’ve had a Betty Crocker Cookbook® for over 15 years, and it has the most wonderful recipe for oatmeal cookies. We’ve made these cookies so many times that we can now connect it with milestones in our life, like the first time my husband made them with us, or the cold day when we sat on the couch, watching movies and ate all of them with milk. It is still an event that my son asks to do … even at age 13.

One of my favorite memories around desserts is my mother’s fruitcake. Fruitcake was a traditional dessert that we would have at Thanksgiving. My mother would make the cake about two weeks before the holiday and steep it in brandy up until serving. The cake was great, but we always laughed that it was a fire hazard as one stray match would likely ignite the cake into a fireball!

REMEMBERING A GRANDMOTHER’S LOVE When I was a child, I used to go to my grandmother’s after school instead of going home. I was always very hungry at 5 p.m., and I knew she would have something nice for me. She used to give me homemade apple pie (made from apples grown in her garden) still warm from the oven and covered with a thick layer of Chantilly cream. I will always remember the feeling of crunching down on the apples and the mark left by my teeth! I usually ended up with face and hands covered with cream … and a big smile on my face.

PARISIAN MEMORIES

FROM TREE TO HAND TO OVEN

When I was in Paris, I ate so many excellent desserts and was really impressed by their dessert heritage. My favourite place for desserts in Paris is called Pâtisserie des Rêves. The desserts are displayed as jewels under a dome, giving the impression that they are unique. My friends and I often organized dinner at one of our homes, and we were always going to the Pâtisserie des Rêves to buy desserts to share at the dinner. To me, dessert is a synonym for good, relaxing times with friends and family.

We used to have a couple of cherry trees in our garden, and it was the children’s joy to spend hours up in their branches, especially during the fruit season. It was spring, with longer days and the promise of summer holidays round the corner, and my mother would give us a big basket to fill up with ripe cherries for the evening clafoutis! The tradition passed on to the next generation, and one of my sons was (and still is) a great fan of this dessert. Even when he was only as big as the basket, he used to offer his services to pick the cherries at my parents’ house. He ate most of them while on the tree and proudly brought his crop back to his grandmother with a bigger tummy and a black mouth! My mother would then bake one clafoutis especially for him. Every time I see cherries, I think of him and of these beautiful trees.

THE MAGIC INGREDIENT

TASTING SUNSHINE

THE SWEET SPLENDOR OF INDIA

When talking about desserts, one ingredient pops up immediately: dulce de leche. I just love it. I’m not sure if it is because of its fantastic and indulgent flavour or because I was not allowed to taste it until I was five years old due to my allergy to dairy based products. In Uruguay, this reduction of milk and sugar is used in almost every dessert: mousses, creams, ice creams, foams, sauces, custards, cakes, cookies. My favourite dessert is still panqueque con dulce de leche: a crêpe filled with dulce de leche, rolled like a cannelloni, sprinkled with sugar and brûlé. For a professional touch, top it with vanilla ice cream.

Growing up in very hot South Africa, most preferred desserts were cold. We were spoilt with choice between the most amazing fruits, so fruit salad was the first thing that came to mind. The classic fruit salad consisted of sun-ripened pineapples, bananas and papaya, with the pulp of granadilla or orange squeezed over it. Summer holidays were spent at the seaside where one could buy fruit for next to nothing from street vendors along the promenades, and then chop everything together for the most fragrant, delicious fruit salad ever. It was as if you could taste sunshine and holiday in every bite. My dad used to love ice cream, so we always had a 5-liter bucket somewhere at home. That, with the combination of the fruit salad, was the best thing ever… and still is.

Ever since I can remember, I have had a sweet tooth. Chocolate, cake, cookies and anything else with a high level of sugar was just made for me. One dessert has stood the test of time, and that is Kaju Barfi. It is a typical Indian dessert made with cashew nuts, milk, sugar and usually a thin layer of silver foil on top. This delish dessert became India for me, and has always made me feel connected to my entire family. It’s also a celebration food since I usually have it for my birthday!
