A fresh approach to the HEIA/McCormick Flavour Forecast Recipe Challenge
McCormick launches its 2019 Flavour Forecast® transformation
In early 2019, McCormick revealed it was jumpstarting a year-round, always-on approach to its nearly 20-year-old Flavour Forecast annual report. Flavour Forecast, which has always highlighted fresh flavour insights and inspiration from around the globe, will now convene in real time an evolving flavour conversation through podcasts, a video series, Instagram and Pinterest.
The McCormick® Flavour Forecast® platform is the destination for people everywhere who are passionate about knowing the latest in flavour—at restaurants, on retail shelves, in home kitchens and beyond. Flavour Forecast will feature quarterly, in-depth flavour topics and weekly inspirational ideas, plus share vibrant images and videos, educational podcasts, delicious recipes and insider content from a global community of experts, chefs, influencers and flavour forecasters.
The new, curated global platform is the place to discover what flavours are on the horizon, what everyone will be talking about, what we will be experimenting with and what flavours McCormick dares you to try now. McCormick invites everyone to join the conversation by following the @flavorforecast Instagram feed.
McCormick/HEIA 2019 Flavour Forecast Recipe Challenge
The new platform has resulted in a fresh approach for the McCormick/HEIA Flavour Forecast Recipe Challenge. In 2019 participating students will get to delve deep into two flavour trends: Need For Seeds and Mexicana Vegana.
What's involved?
Three original recipes are required. This means your entry will have two recipes from one Trend, and one recipe from the other Trend. The criteria remain the same from previous years. All dishes must serve two, must fall within a budget of $26 for all three dishes, and must only have one discretionary dish.
Additional resources are available, including handy recipes, fact sheets on some of the more unusual ingredients and four videos that provide some great background into the trends.

Entries close 18th October 2019.
