Innovation starts in the kitchen. 🍴 From Filipino cuisine’s rise to tamarind-forward flavors and sugar cookie-inspired desserts, November’s Culinary Solutions Trend Update spotlights what’s shaping menus across foodservice. This month’s trends highlight the continued evolution of global and comfort-driven dining.
