TOP CHEF GORDON RAMSAY OUTLINES GLOBAL CULINARY TRENDS
WE SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR IN THE NEW YEAR
hile the global Covid pandemic has turned a lot of us into
accomplished, skilled, proficient home cooks (in our own
minds, at least, if not in reality), the effect it’s had on the
chefs, staff and restaurateurs of the world’s best restaurants
W has been less positive. Most establishments have endured
almost a year of closure – Gordon’s portfolio of high-quality restaurants
included. It’s a factor that has led to something of an accidental food revolution
in our homes.
“With every disaster there is an upside and a downside,” he says. “While a lot
of industries have been torn apart by Covid, it has been the making of others –
think about the way we buy stuff over the Internet, and home delivery of goods.
Think too about cleanliness and hygiene… things that have always been of
interest to me as a chef – we are now all obsessed with it.”
