Paris, France · 19 December 2019 · Suppliers you should know in 2020: Koppert Cress
Originally published in Caterer Middle East
Is it time for you to work with Koppert Cress is 2020? Find out why you should.
Tell us about your company?
Koppert Cress is always on the lookout for natural, innovative ingredients which chefs can use to intensify the flavour, aroma, or presentation of their dishes; products that meet the increasingly stringent requirements of restaurants worldwide. Cresses are freshly-sprouted seedlings from 100% natural aromatic plants. They offer a freshness and intensity of taste and aroma that is only found in young seedlings.
Sell it to me! What’s new?
The success of Koppert Cress is entirely dependent on its recognition and acceptance by the professional user. Flavour is the top priority in this regard, but there’s more to it than just taste. Rob Baan realized at an early stage that healthy eating will play an increasingly important role and that we will be involved in this more and more. The company has opted for the vision ‘Good nutrition is crucial for a healthy life’.
We have recently introduced sweet peeper! Sweet peeper goes perfectly with both hot and cold dishes such as soups and salads. It takes dishes to the next level thanks to its high creative value and good bite in combination with the long-lasting, simple, dry, and bittersweet taste. The yellow leaves and pink/red shoots add an extra dimension to the dish while giving a nod to its origin: the sweet potato. In addition to the leaf, you can also use the pickled shoots as a fine addition to salads and sandwiches.
Another new product is cuzco leaves! Cuzco leaves is a leaf with cucumber taste. When used raw it is a visually attractive ingredient. It makes rich dishes taste fresher and lighter. Use (part of) the leaves, as the stem may be too strong in taste. Use the leaves in cocktails, with fat fish, tuna tartare, steak tartare and vegetable dishes. Combine with avocado, citrus, fermented vegetables, smoked and dried dishes, cheese. In combination with fatty ingredients the flavour is nuttier.
On the 20th of November we officially launched the completely new Koppert Cress website and the company’s new visual identity. The newly developed online platform fits in current website expectations and provides a complete new experience with ease of use, extensive travel stories and a configurator that, based on hundreds of criteria, helps to make the correct ingredient choices.

Paris, France · 13 December 2019 · The Results Are In! Check Out the Final Counts for International Chefs Day 2019
Greetings Chefs and Colleagues!
Children around the world had a chance to spend time with Worldchefs members, like yourself, this year on and around October 20th to celebrate International Chefs Day 2019. With the theme “How Healthy Food Works,” provided by our sponsor Nestlé Professional, all were able to print materials from the toolkit including recipes, badges, certificates, games, and even placemats to make your event complete and with ease.
Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher, founder of International Chefs Day in 2004, would be so proud of this year’s efforts as you continued his vision of celebrating our noble profession and passing on our knowledge and culinary skills to the next generation with a sense of pride and commitment to the future.
I am also very proud of the International Chefs Day Committee who volunteered their time this year to get the word out and answer any questions you had about the 2019 campaign. Everyone played a big role in making this a great year.
Thank you to my Team!!!
Adelina Sisti-DeBlasis, Canada
Joanna Ochniak, Poland
Mathew Shropshall, England
Ann Brown, Scotland
Kim-Håvard Larsen, Norway
Venessa Barnes, Australia
David Keir, South Africa
Ines Maria D’Amico, Ecuador
Tony Chang, Taiwan
And now what you have all been waiting for… Just look at our final counts for 2019!
Children Reached: 72,957 Chef Participation: 1,849
Congratulations! This is a great stride and everyone should be proud of what you have accomplished, and that is, sharing with children healthy eating habits and of course, our profession. If you missed sharing with children this October, perhaps you can participate in 2020 by joining more chefs around the world for next year’s International Chefs Day campaign.
I leave you with this final thought, by Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher:
“Progress is incremental so concentrate on what you can do today that you couldn’t do yesterday.”
