Food and Drink Innovation Report. in Partnership with M&S Food Food and Drink Innovation Report. In partnership with M&S Food. How we’ll be eating and drinking in 2021 In Partnership with M&S Food Peering into a crystal ball, post pandemic and Brexit, how do you imagine we will be eating? Surrounded by uncertainty, life has changed exponentially. Yet thanks to our YBFs panel, M&S research and polls, we’ve been able to get an inkling into how we’ll be cooking, eating and drinking next year. The essence of next year is summarised by April Preston, Director of Product Development at M&S, who despite a 30-year distinguished food career under her apron, believes consumer behaviour has changed more over these months than any decade. “Britons are reevaluating and reflecting,” she says on a Zoom call. “From the culinary catwalk to the masses, the conversation is different to what it’s been for years. It’s no longer about quick trends. From banana bread recipes, to sourdough, home cooking is the most popular it’s been for half a century. There are massive shifts - lipsticks sales are down, eye makeup up, baking is an obsession, there’s a home cocktail making renaissance and there is a polarisation between people who are struggling and those who have saved pennies by not going on holiday, looking April Preston, for small indulgences.” Director of Product Development at M&S In the eating out sector adaptability is key. But two Michelin star chef, James Knappett,is optimistic we’ll return to our favourite restaurants. “People are already trying to break the rules just to be with each other and eat out together. There’s a real desire.” Tuck in and enjoy our forecast.

    RAVNEET GILL Agent: Carina Rizvi When Ravneet Gill was 14 an astrologer told her mother she would work in the food industry. Ravneet was a fussy eater and at the time it seemed ridiculous, but after completing a psychology degree her passion for pastry and cooking led her to study at Le Cordon Bleu. She went on to work her way up the ranks in different sections all over London - most notably, St. JOHN, Llewelyn's, Jamavar, Black Axe Mangal and Wild by Tart. In May 2018 she set up Countertalk; a platform designed to help connect chefs, provide education and promote equality and positive, nurturing working environments in the hospitality industry. Through Countertalk, Ravneet holds much-lauded food-based events and industry talks. In 2019 she was voted one of the 100 most influential people in the hospitality industry. She set up the pop-up bakery and online bakery school PUFF which delighted Londoners and saw queues around the block from their temporary location. The online cookery courses had over six thousand students signing up. Her first book, The Pastry Chef's Guide: The secret to successful baking every time, was published by Pavilion in 2020 and is aimed at chefs and home bakers alike who FEAR baking. The message: pastry is easy. This is a straight-talking no-nonsense manual designed to become THE baking reference book on any cookery shelf. Ravneet is a judge on Junior Bake Off (2021). 'Desserts are fundamental, and for this reason there should be a little room for a pastry chef to flap their wings like a butterfly, a little leeway for culinary cheekiness.

  • Meat and Fish Products and Processing
    New Agriculture for a New Generation: Recharging Greek Youth to Revitalize the Agriculture and Food Sector of the Greek Economy MEAT AND FISH PRODUCTS AND PROCESSING Project Leader: Ms Mathildi Saritza Researchers: Dr Panagiotis Kotsios Ms Foteini Theodorakioglou Mr Papadakis Theodoros Mr Savvidis Michalis Μs Tsiasidou Despoina 1 | 2 | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current study is focused in the Greek meat and fish processing sectors, in order to explore and evaluate chances for youth entrepreneurship and job creation. A variety of secondary and primary sources was utilized to cover the objectives of the study. The importance of the meat and fish industry in total food manufacturing is relatively high in terms of employment and production value, when considering the total number of companies in the sector. The processed meat sales exceeded 1,4 billion € in 2013, whilst the processed fish sector hardly reaches the 340 m €. The value of crafted meat products prepared in the traditional butcheries is not included, because of lack of reliable data. Despite the severe economic crisis, the employment in the processing sector was relatively stable, although variations were exhibited through the years. It should be noted though, that the total number of employees in the processing sector lacks far behind the number of independent traditional butcheries, that have the license to offer locally both to consumers and food service operants a limited variety of traditional processed meat products as defined by the Greek regulations. The number of meat processing firms remains relatively stable during the years of the economic crisis whilst the number of fish processors increased in the same period.
