The Foodbuy and CSM Cost Solutions teams recently joined Nestlé in Solon, OH, for a hands-on culinary session exploring new flavor innovations and upcoming product launches. 🥘   The group sampled a wide range of products, including spicy red pasta, pho, harissa, mediterranean stew, and sausage gravy, then provided feedback on applications across CSM Member businesses. Looking ahead, the team previewed Nestlé’s exciting 2026 lineup, including Coconut Curry, Red Chili Miso, and Shawarma. 🌶️   This collaborative session created valuable opportunities to: ✅Identify growth areas within CSM member operations. ✅Enable chefs to test products and explore new menu applications. ✅Capture content for CSM’s Member newsletter, reinforcing the power of our partnership with Nestlé.   Thank you to the Nestlé team for hosting us! #Nestle #foodserviceinnovation #menutrends #menudesign

Today's students are tomorrow's culinary leaders! 👳 That's why Foodbuy is so proud of associates like Chef Awo Amenumey -- whom you may recognize from Chopped earlier this year -- who spent an afternoon last month sharing her passion for West African cuisine with the Foods and Nutrition students at Catawba Ridge High School! 📓📚📖 The students had the opportunity to work hands-on with Chef Awo, as she shared insights about West African cuisine, the culinary arts, and her role within the procurement industry. Thank you to the Catawba High School team for hosting this event and to Jenna Petri for spearheading the opportunity. Foodbuy is proud to support experiences that connect our teams with young talent! #culinaryleaders #culinarystudents #futureleaders #futureculinarians #foodandnutritionstudents
