Orange cake as personal encouragement
Hotel Theater Figi just made an orange cake for Parthen meeting service. Some hope that the Dutch team makes in to the quarterfinals of the EC!

If you like to eat out early, it’s now possible to join the staff of FG Restaurant (restaurant Francois Geurts, 2 Michelin stars, Rotterdam) and FG Food Labs during their staff meal. From my own internship in another kitchen, I can still remember the fun of eating together. And especially for young people who are considering to start working in a restaurant, this is a nice opportunity to take a look. I have however reservations, recently I enjoyed a great diner at FG Food Labs and of course the staff meal is different… At both restaurants you have to be early, at FG Restaurant the staff meal is served from 17.00 to 18.00 and at FG Food Labs from 16.00 to 17.00. The staff meal is served at a reasonable rate and reservations are necessary. ^ Marjolein Spronsen
Temaki, a Brazilian form of sushi, is available at Yoobi in London for a few of years already. The owners were inspired by trips in Japan and Brazil. The food reminds us of the Kono pizza but is authentic Japanese. Watch the video for a DIY instruction, so you can make an alternative snack during the World Championship the coming weeks!
This new hotspot on the border of Soho & Tribeca is a real “farm-to-table” restaurant. The origin of every single ingredient is indicated on the menu and if for some reason an ingredient is from a different supplier that day, the staff informs their guests at welcome. The restaurant is situated in a modern building and decorated as a cheerful, French farmers stable. The menu is diverse, focused on good and healthy ingredients and varies somewhat daily based on what was supplied that day. The entire staff is a 100% knowledgeable about the food being served and they are delighted to answer all your questions. The eye-catcher of the menu is the kaletini, because who has tried a kaletini before?
We wish you lots of fun with the World Cup. No idea if you are going to see all the games (or even could watch them) but if you work in a restaurant, the chances are that you are going to miss a few games. Perhaps you can surprise your guests with a dish like the Roca brothers (from El Celler de Can Roca, Girona) made several years ago, pay attention to the detail of the Ipod with the run-up to a goal by Lionel Messi while eating dessert.
Do you make a special dish for the World Cup? Let us know and if it’s original we do put it on horecatrends.
Starbucks steps into the world of burgers. Next month Starbucks will open a restaurant in Los Angeles where guests can compose their own burger, the restaurant will also serve beer, wine, cocktails and shakes. Two years ago Starbucks bought ‘La Boulange’, a cafe chain based in San Francisco Bay Area that focuses on breakfast and lunch. Starbucks will rebuilt one of the locations in Los Angeles into a burger restaurant, many of the bakery items will be the same but the menu will include a build-your-own-burger. If the test is successful, the concept will be rolled out further.
More and more people grow their own vegetables in a garden at home. It is now also possible to grow your own mushrooms on recycled coffee grounds.

In February we posted an article about ten original sweets with coffee or tea, recently we spotted Chocodate, a delicacy that can be served as coffee snack. Chocodate is a date filled with roasted almonds, covered with a layer of white, milk or dark chocolate and is originally an Arab snack from Dubai. Dates support the balance of your metabolism, almonds regulate blood pressure and chocolate contains natural antioxidants, this makes the Chocodate a healthier snack. The Chocodate is available at Chocodate Benelux.
When the sun shines, people love to eat ribs and burgers from the barbecue grill. Those who want to have a culinary barbecue can try the surprising and innovative barbecue pot by Casper Tolhuisen. The barbecue pot is a ceramic pot with a spout to cook stew dinner. You need to fill the barbecue pot with ingredients, seal it with a lemon and put it on the barbecue. Steam is created and the taste of lemon will be mixed with the ingredients through the smoke. The barbecue pot originated in Güveç and is a traditional Turkish preparation method. The ceramic bowl is filled with ingredients, sealed with a dough and cooked in the coals of the fire.
In August 2013 we’ve spotted the brand-free advertising of TBWA Paris for McDonald’s. The campaign consisted of various close-up images of popular McDonald’s products without branding. The latest campaign of TBWA Paris for McDonald’s consists out of simple graphic illustrations of McDonald’s products. The items Big Mac, cheeseburger, fries, Sunday, chicken nuggets and filet-o-fish are expressed in a simple illustration without text but only the small ‘M’. The simple and colored graphic illustrations are set against a white background, so they are immediately recognizable.
