Hot: Health-focussed dishes

The way we approach healthy eating has been evolving over the last couple of years. It’s important to diners that their dishes be balanced – healthy – as well as delicious.

“Healthy eating remains top of mind for diners, so dishes with vegetables as the main ingredient – pickled and fermented vegetables, in particular – will take center stage on menus,” states Eric Kaszubinski, Executive Chef at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa.

“Low carb and low sugar diets,” adds Robert Hohmann, Executive Chef, Gaby Brasserie Française at Sofitel New York. “The use of more raw vegetables on menus. More use of roots and leaves to combat food wastage. Poke is a big trend. Cassava flour, too, because it’s gluten- and grain-free.”
