Think Scandinavia, buttermilk, kids and ‘eater-tainment’ – no not a trip to Ikea – these are the main trends influencing foodservice this year.

In their ‘What’s Hot in 2013′ chef survey, the National Restaurant Association found that locally sourced foods and children’s nutrition are the leading trends in 2013. Over half of the chefs surveyed said they will continue to make an effort to adjust dishes and recipes so they are more healthy. With health and the economy being concerns for consumers this year, dishes are also healthier and all-inclusive menus to accommodate all types of diners - vegetarians, vegans, kids, gluten-free, wheat-free and eco-conscious ones – are becoming prevalent.

Oh, to live in london! Thanks Red Magazine
