Traditional recipes have been turned upside down changing temperatures, textures and the nature of products to provide a new version of them. Research and innovation are the order of the day and new recipes are created where the best of traditional native cuisine is combined with dishes from other cultures.
Traditional flavours and simple presentations which give precedence to the food itself are back. Even the most basic dishes may be presented with elegance. Simplicity and tradition go together, avoiding over-decoration and elaborate dishes.
The current trend of offering healthy and very fresh food brings forward the attractions of Japanese dishes. Sushi are an excellent option: healthy, easy to eat and elegantly presented. But Japanese cuisine has a lot to offer beyond raw fish. For example, delicious “robata”, a mixture of meat and fish on a skewer, cooked on a traditional “Bincho-tan” barbecue, which may be served directly from the latter or on trays.
When holding an event or meeting, the traditional and the modern combine to produce light and more consistent dishes to satisfy the various tastes of the participant groups. One of the advantages of snack-type receptions is the variety they afford. A good display includes 10 to 20 different elements presenting a range of forms, textures and colours. Good food is important and an attractive presentation is even more so. Both presentation and service are undergoing major changes. People like to experience new textures and appearances. Traditional petits-fours served in silver trays are no longer satisfactory.
