What we loved at The Speciality Food Festival 2023? ❇️ The Trendsetters Tour ❇️ This new feature was a resounding success, leading a select group of hand-picked, VIP buyers on a curated culinary journey through the immense venue. We led them straight to the top 10 exhibitors serving up the newest, cutting-edge products, perfectly aligned with the region's evolving tastes. The tour was a well-crafted gourmet recipe of discovery, connection, and powerful partnerships; that left both the buyers and exhibitors savouring success. The Trendsetters Tour is sure to become a regular feature as it was a culinary triumph, setting the stage for future collaborations and trends that will resonate with everyone who participated in it. We thank each one and look forward to meeting you on the next Trendsetters Tour in 2024! #TrendsettersTour #TheSpecialityFoodFestival #TheSpecialityFoodFestival2023 #SFF #SFF2023 #F&BInnovation #SustainabilityInnovation #FutureofF&B #SpecialityFood #GourmetFood #FineFood #FoodIndustry #artisanal #culinary #gastronomy #MENAgastronomy #exhibition #tradeshow #dwtc #dubaiworldtradecentre #dubaievents

The chefs are still digesting all the ideas and inspiration from The Speciality Food Festival 2023. Just ask Chef Giuseppe Pezzella, the culinary genius behind Chic Nonna Dubai. This multi-award-winning chef was impressed by the fusion trend, mixing global flavours to create a unique gourmet experience. He was particularly excited about the umami flavours of seaweed and we hope to see more of his creations incorporating this nutritious, delicious ingredient. We thank him for bringing his culinary skills to Top Table this year and look forward to seeing him again next year. Till then he will be in his kitchen cooking up more flavourful trends. #TheSpecialityFoodFestival #TheSpecialityFoodFestival2023 #SFF #SFF2023 #ChefTestimonial #ChefTalk #TopTableGourmand #Masterchef #Masterclass #CulinaryArts #artisanal #culinary #gastronomy #MENAgastronomy #exhibition #tradeshow #dwtc #dubaiworldtradecentre #dubaievents

We caught up with Chef Alex Stumpf, co-owner of BB Social DIFC, to learn about his experience at The Speciality Food Festival 2023. He thought it was a great place to showcase UAE’s talent and creativity to the world. A global platform that empowers local players. A key trend that he observed was the focus on sustainability which he thinks will only grow bigger in the future. With the UAE now moving towards growing local produce, it gives him and his fellow chefs the opportunity to work with fresh, local produce to create flavourful culinary delights We thank him for participating in Top Table Gourmand and can’t wait to see what he brings next year. Make sure you are there too to stay on top of all that’s trending. #TheSpecialityFoodFestival #TheSpecialityFoodFestival2023 #SFF #SFF2023 #ChefTestimonial #ChefTalk #TopTableGourmand #Masterchef #Masterclass #CulinaryArts #artisanal #culinary #gastronomy #MENAgastronomy #exhibition #tradeshow #dwtc #dubaiworldtradecentre #dubaievents

Fish-lover and culinary artist Chef Junior Nadje founder of Diner Modern brought the satisfying flavours of the sea to The Speciality Food Festival 2023. His Top Table masterclass left us speechless with a mouth-watering combination of flavours from Ivory Coast and Korea, rolled in with French techniques. He enjoyed his time there and was delighted to discover Hokkaido scallops at the show. Something tells us next year he will be bringing scrumptious scallops to the menu! His takeaway was the healthy eating trend and we hope to see more gourmet healthy dishes from him in the future. Till next year we thank him for his participation. #TheSpecialityFoodFestival #TheSpecialityFoodFestival2023 #SFF #SFF2023 #ChefTestimonial #ChefTalk #TopTableGourmand #Masterchef #Masterclass #CulinaryArts #artisanal #culinary #gastronomy #MENAgastronomy #exhibition #tradeshow #dwtc #dubaiworldtradecentre #dubaievents

What happens after The Speciality Food Festival? That’s actually when the real work begins. Take it from one of our popular exhibitors Frantoio D'orazio, makers of speciality olive oils from Italy. Frantoio D’Orazio offers different kinds of extra virgin olive oils for every taste and palate. Having sampled their product at the event, they have discovered many leads and connections to pursue in the coming days. This is just the beginning of their growth in the region and beyond. Proving that The Speciality Food Festival is the gateway to this growing gourmet market. We thank them for their participation and hope that you too are busy following up on the leads and discoveries from the show. That should keep you busy till the next year. See you then. #TheSpecialityFoodFestival #TheSpecialityFoodFestival2023 #SFF #SFF2023 #ExhibitorSuccess #ExhibitorTestimonial #SpecialityFood #GourmetFood #FineFood #FoodIndustry #artisanal #culinary #gastronomy #MENAgastronomy #exhibition #tradeshow #dwtc #dubaiworldtradecentre #dubaievents

The Speciality Food Festival is a place of discovery and we love seeing the diversity of cuisines at the show. As does Chef Roberto Segura, founder La Barra Dubai & RS Hospitality Consultants, Head of culinary at Infini Concepts Agency. A culinary visionary with a passion for innovation and Peruvian cuisine, he wowed us with his salmon tiradito at the Top Table masterclass. A dish that captures all the vibrant culinary flavours of Peruvian cuisine. A champion of chef-led, home-grown concepts, he has always supported other chefs in the region and the event was a chance for him to network, connect, learn and share with them. We thank him for bringing his energy and enthusiasm to Top Table and look forward to seeing him again next year. #TheSpecialityFoodFestival #TheSpecialityFoodFestival2023 #SFF #SFF2023 #ChefTestimonial #ChefTalk #TopTableGourmand #Masterchef #Masterclass #CulinaryArts #artisanal #culinary #gastronomy #MENAgastronomy #exhibition #tradeshow #dwtc #dubaiworldtradecentre #dubaievents
