Schwartz Flavour Combinations Challenge at Hotelympia

The race is now on to find the winning team in the Schwartz Flavour Combinations Challenge at Hotelympia

The date for entries is now closed and the race is on to find the winning team in the Schwartz Flavour Combinations Challenge at Hotelympia 2014.

Entrants of the prestigious Open Classes in the Live Theatre, at this celebrated Foodservice and Hospitality exhibition, will be tested to the limits as some of the best talent in the industry competes in front of a live audience for a highly coveted Salon Culinaire medal.  

Once again Schwartz is promoting its Flavour Combinations Challenge whereby chefs are asked to unlock their creativity and present new flavour combinations in innovative ways.  Teams of two will have just 45 minutes to prepare, cook and present a two course meal for two, using one pair of flavours in each dish from McCormick’s Flavour Forecast®.  This year they can choose from: Smoked Tomato, Rosemary and Chilli; Bitter Chocolate Basil and Passion Fruit; Sage, Cider and Molasses; Artichoke, Paprika and Hazelnuts; Katsu and Oregano and Faro Grain, Blackberry and Clove.  The menu must consist of either a starter and main course or a main course and dessert.

Since 2000, Schwartz’ parent company, McCormick, has been on the forefront of identifying emerging culinary trends through its signature Flavour Forecast, a delicious expression of its passion for flavour.  The annual compilation of the future of flavour is highly anticipated and acts as a catalyst for innovation within the broader food industry.  The Flavour Forecast makes a difference in the way people create and experience food around the world and by competing in this Challenge, chefs are at the forefront helping to introduce the use of new ingredients to a wider audience.

You can show support for your team and be a part of the Schwartz Flavour Combinations Challenge at Hotelympia on Monday April 28th at 4pm in the Live Theatre.
