Embracing plant-forward sources

About the Trend
This trend is about broadening the culinary horizons to celebrate plant power in the most interesting ways.
For more established vegans/vegetarians, the desire for highly indulgent eating is a thing of the past. They seek new culinary experiences with flavoursome and healthy dishes that revolve around plant-powered proteins such as beans, pulses and a variety of nutritious vegetables.

“The growing movement toward embracing plant-forward sources not only reduces our reliance on animal agriculture but also offers numerous health benefits. Chefs have a big part to play in providing solutions to the environmental and ethical concerns raised by traditional food systems.”
