JJ Foodservice launches Kitchen Workshops to inspire caterers

JJ Foodservice has launched an educational kitchen workshop concept, which kicked off with a summer drinks masterclass in partnership with DaVinci Gourmet. 

Hosted at the wholesaler’s newly opened professional kitchen space, the hands-on session focused on crafting flavoured coffees and iced drinks that impress.

The event was led by Alberto Vespignani, beverage development & application chef at Kerry Foodservice, who guided guests through an on-trend menu of cold beverages, including mango smoothies, pistachio coffees, and strawberry lemonades.

Baris Kacar, chief sales officer at JJ Foodservice, said: “With iced coffee sales growing every year, this workshop gave our customers exactly what they need to stay competitive.”

JJ Kitchen Workshops are part of the group’s commitment to help foodservice operators stay ahead of the curve.

“This is just the beginning. We’ve had fantastic feedback and already received requests for more workshops covering a range of topics,” added Kacar.

The next session is a Pizza & Pasta Workshop, which takes place on 29 September at the Enfield branch in partnership with foodservice ingredient specialist, Silbury.
