An innovation leader's views on cakes and desserts
Prepared Foods talks culinary menu and dessert trends with Stacie Sopinka, senior vice president, innovation and quality, US Foods, a leading foodservice distributor based in Rosemont, Ill.
Prepared Foods: In US Foods’ “Fall Scoop” product release, you mention creating new products for the “Food Runway” and “introducing the right trends at the right time.” More specifically, there’s a reference to trends such as authentic global flavors, vibrant colors, a celebration of vegetables, New World butchery and fine-dining 2.0. Are there desserts included in your Fall Scoop line and, if so, how do they address those trends?
