Culinary Masterpieces brings together 18 recipes developed by the company’s culinary team, demonstrating how versatile bakery products can be transformed into commercially relevant menu concepts that respond to current trends, while helping operators maximise existing ingredients and reduce menu complexity.

The publication has also been created as a practical source of menu inspiration, showcasing how a relatively small number of bakery products can support multiple applications across breakfast, lunch, evening dining and FTG. Among the featured recipes are premium sandwiches, gourmet burgers, Italian-inspired bakery dishes, brunch concepts and sharing options, allowing you to refresh menus without continually expanding stockholding. 

Highlights include schiacciata recipes featuring Pesto, Bresaola & Asparagus and Pistachio, Salami & Burrata, alongside premium burgers, breakfast dishes and indulgent bakery desserts.

Kevin Hughes said: “Operators are continually looking for new ideas that help them stand out, while remaining practical to deliver in busy professional kitchens. Culinary Masterpieces has been developed to demonstrate just how versatile quality bakery can be. Rather than introducing more complexity, we’ve focused on showing how operators can make more of the products they already use by presenting them in fresh, commercially relevant ways.”

Bakery has evolved beyond its traditional role as a side offering to become the foundation for premium sandwiches, brunch dishes, sharing boards, burgers and casual dining concepts – and  Culinary Masterpieces has been developed to help operators capitalise.
