Mark Dean, sales director at Classic Cuisine commented: “This year, Classic Cuisine has included various new dishes and some of the old festive favourites. The Turkey Tornedo for example was one of our bestsellers in a number of pub and restaurant chains last year so we had to put that back on the menu this year. We had an increased interest in our vegetarian dishes, therefore we have spent more time and innovation in our vegetarian range. The demand for our meat free options has risen from all our clients including branded national pub chains, hotel chains, in-store dining and high street restaurants.”
The Christmas product range includes festive favourites such as the turkey tornedo, with Norfolk Turkey wrapped in crispy streaky bacon, topped with a cranberry and orange stuffing and finished with a cinnamon jus. Also included within the festive range is the smoked salmon roulade, a light suet pastry which is infused with fresh spinach and topped with MSC salmon and cream cheese mousse.
Classic Cuisine’s vegetarian festive products includes a creamy brie and red onion tart with chestnuts and their Butlers secret soufflé, a creamy and light soufflé infused with luxurious Butlers cheese.
Within the festive dessert range is the delicious and nostalgic trifle cheesecake, a sherry soaked sponge topped with a tart raspberry jelly, orange custard and cream cheese. Also within the range is a chocolate salami made with rich Belgian chocolate, a variety of delicious biscuits and topped with a sprinkle of pistachios.
Paul Hunt, new product development chef at Classic Cuisine explained: “At Classic Cuisine we like to put our spin on the Christmas classics by bringing back festive favourites and adding a little something extra. We believe that our secret to success is a combination of being innovative but also ensuring a homemade feel to our dishes, which people especially love around the festive period.”
