Where Trends Meet Chocolate

EMF Emirates and Callebaut organised an event entitled “Where Trends Meet Chocolate” which saw a gathering 80 chefs from the Middle East to discover what the future holds in terms of chocolate trends. Three distinct trends were explored through recipes created by EMF Emirates’ international chefs: Philippe Marand, Marc Pauquet, and Krsto Radovic.

Marc Pauquet showcased ‘Desserts on the Go’ with three of his recipes that featured enhanced colours and were convenient enough to bring as an on-the-go snack. Especially eye-catching were his Tahini Sesame Truffles.

Krsto Radovic awakened childhood memories with a modern touch in his three recipes based on the trend ‘Classics with a Twist’. He retained the essence of three classic recipes while giving them a creative and modern look.

Finally, Philippe Marand shared his take on the trend ‘Confectionery Reloaded’, where four recipes were filled with flavour, contrasting textures and exciting new shapes.
