Press Release Summary = ChefsWorld recently undertook a survey to review trends that
emerged in the kitchen in 2006. 437 UK chefs and 108 international chefs took part
in the survey.

Press Release Body = A summary of the survey results is as follows:
Locally sourced products exploded onto menu's in 2006. 87% of chefs feel that this
trend will continue to grow. Organic and ethical ingredients will also continue to
grow in popularity in 2007.
Fat is back in cooking with 92% of chefs feeling that they can get back to the
serious business of flavour, taste and textures.
Sous vide or cryovacking tried to rear its head again in 2006, 64% of chefs felt it
should go back to the eighties and stay there for good.
An interesting piece of equipment that chefs would like in their kitchen is the
Thermomix. 74% believed this piece of kit would increase in popularity together
with the Pacojet
72% of chefs said they may start experimenting with molecular gastronomy in 2007.
Only 61% of UK based chefs achieve job satisfaction versus 89% of international
chefs. This is not a surprise as 85% of UK based full time chefs spend over 53 hours
in the kitchen and only 29% receive overtime pay. However, 55% believed that
employers were starting to realise that the chef is the backbone of the business.
1% of chefs knew that the peanut is part of the legume family and unrelated to
other nuts!
