- Recipe Inspiration - DISCOVER QUORN AUTUMN / WINTER 2018 INTRODUCTION We published our first Quorn™ Recipe Inspiration Book in April 2017 and we do so twice every year, in line with the seasons and your menu planning. The idea behind them is to provide fabulously tasty, nutritious and on-trend meat free recipe ideas, complete with ingredients lists, methods and nutritional information for you to easily transfer onto your menus. Why? Because over a third of UK consumers are actively reducing the amount of meat they eat* and this number is increasing every year, which means that having a tasty range of meat free dishes on your menus for customers to enjoy has never been more important! To demonstrate the versatility of Quorn as an ingredient– across different day parts, cuisines and dish-styles, we have created another cracking set of recipes to see you through Autumn/Winter 2018, including ideas for National Curry Week, Diwali, Bonfire Night and British Pie Week.

Our recipes are of course meat free and – in some cases, vegan twists on traditional festive faves to inspire your customers. Our recipes are for meat eaters too. In fact, 73% of Quorn enthusiasts eat meat**, proving that Quorn is for everyone! They choose it because Quorn recipes taste good, they’re kinder to the planet, can be better for them and can also be a nutritious protein source too. We hope you enjoy making and tasting our Autumn/Winter recipe ideas as much as we enjoyed creating them. More than that – we hope we see some of them on your menus.
