Anchor Food Professionals, a world leading New Zealand dairy foodservice brand, has partnered with Worldchefs by showcasing 11 globally renowned chefs in their latest Taste of Tradition campaign.
The campaign celebrates culinary creativity and sees the chefs reimagine a traditional dish from their country by giving them a modern dairy twist. These innovative recipes from around the world have now been brought together in a digital cookbook titled Taste of Tradition, launched on 29 July 2024.
The line-up for the Taste of Tradition digital cookbook includes prestigious Chef Tom Lamers from the Netherlands, who is celebrated for his exceptional culinary expertise. His talent and dedication have consistently earned him recognition on the international culinary stage, with numerous awards under his belt from 2003 to present.
Chef Tom Lamers says, “As a Michelin-starred chef, my career focuses on sustainable, quality ingredients. We [chefs] truly understand the power of exceptional produce and their influence on the finished product. Using Chef’s Classic Whipping Cream for my Pearl of White Chocolate and Strawberry, Vanilla Cream, and Almond Biscuit ensured precision and enhanced the architecture of my take on the Netherland’s classic, Strawberries and Cream.”
Each chef brings a unique perspective and expertise to their recipes, honouring traditional flavours while embracing modern techniques. Amongst the global chefs featured is the rising star Amber Heaton, who reimagined the popular Australian dish, Chicken ‘Parmi’ Parmigiana.
“The Chicken Parmigiana is a crowd-favourite in Australia, found on every pub’s menu. I loved rethinking this classic using Extra Yield European Cooking Cream and Mozzarella Cheese, which expedite prep time offering exceptional flavour and stretch,” commented Chef Amber.
Renowned Singaporean Kenny Ng, has leaned into his pastry expertise for the campaign, reimagining the classic Swiss Roll by deconstructing its components to create the Reconstructed Roll Cake.
Chef Kenny says, “Being part of the Taste of Tradition campaign has allowed me to delve deep into Singapore’s rich culinary heritage and add a contemporary twist. Each element comes together in perfect harmony, offering a sophisticated and playful twist on traditional flavours by using Anchor Food Professionals products. I’m thrilled to bring a decade of expertise in Pastry & Culinary Arts to the Taste of Tradition campaign” he adds.
