Society is increasingly focusing on healthy living, a good work-life balance and the future of the planet. For decades, the catering industry stood for meat, fish, wine and hard work without a private life. Those times are over. At the Horecava<\/a>, a Dutch event for the hospitality industry from January \u00a013 to 16 2025, there will be a focus on social trends and social changes in the culinary world. Last week, we already linked to the Taste of Horecava by Gault&Millau<\/a> and chef Jef Schuur is also shaping the Sustainable Fish Symposium in collaboration with three international three-star chefs and marine biologists at the Horecava. He aims to not only serve sustainable fish dishes in his own Texel restaurant, but also to inspire and inform other chefs. There will also be a Taste of Wine Professional Theatre at the Horecava. And, of course, they focus on ways to prevent employees from leaving. More in the press release, link in the title.<\/p>\n Thomas Baeyens, the passionate chef of restaurant L’Amiti\u00e9<\/a> in Antwerp, recently launched his new project: Sardineshop.be<\/a>. Together with Jeroen Lybaert, he created the web shop for premium canned fish in Belgium and the Netherlands. The rise of \u2018tinned fish\u2019 as a trend on platforms such as TikTok has rediscovered and popularised tinned fish among a wide and young audience. From tasty combinations to creative recipes, tinned fish is proving to be versatile, healthy and easy. The webshop offers both individual cans and boxes for those who like to give it as a gift or try different flavours for themselves. The team also regularly shares recipes and serving tips on the website. Check out the website, link in the title.<\/p>\n Fun promotions to celebrate their 20th anniversary at Brasserie Appelmans and Absinthbar<\/a> in Antwerp. Appelmans is one of the first concepts of hospitality wizard Kasper Stuart’s, and they are celebrating this anniversary big time. With, among other things, a revival of the successes from their menu of the last 20 years, a Big Brunch (took place on 3 November), a bar menu with the signature absinthe cocktails of all their iconic bartenders of the last 20 years, a cocktail kit to make your own cocktails at home, \u00e1nd during their birthday week (Thursday 28 November to 5 December) they treat their loyal customers by offering the dishes of 2004 for the prices of 2004. What we also really like: as of December 3rd<\/sup>, they will sell 100 \u2018mini bars\u2019 full of cocktail & party fun as a unique end-of-year gift! Check out their festivities on the website, link in the title.<\/p>\n McDonalds’<\/a> \u201cyear-end burger\u201d is a \u201cHomestyle Crispy Chicken\u201d with Old Amsterdam cheese this year. The combination is available with either a chicken burger or a veggie Valess burger. This is the eighth time McDonald’s has partnered with Old Amsterdam. Check out more specials around the end of 2024 in their press release, link in title.<\/p>\n Another great Airbnb<\/a> location, we unfortunately missed this one! You were able to book a stay for one night on November 8th<\/sup> till the 10th<\/sup>. In celebration of the release of \u2018Paddington in Peru\u2019<\/a>, everyone\u2019s favorite bear, Paddington\u2122, is inviting families worldwide for a once-in-a-lifetime overnight stay on Airbnb at his Windsor Gardens home. Located in a charming and quaint area of London, Paddington shares his home with The Brown Family. More details in the press release on Airbnb. We love some of the Airbnb Icons!<\/p>\n Spotted on the Instagram of blogger, Paris.cake. As we\u2019re going to Paris in the beginning of December I searched for Paris on Instagram, this has nothing to do with Paris, but we love how Lolly Bakery<\/a> creates their cheesecake lollies. The website of this\u00a0 bakery is linked in the title. We can imagine that the Christmas lolly collection is going to be fabulous.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nSardineshop.be | The perfect apero bites for the holiday season<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n
