“As a result of today’s “culinary revolution” food is often the centre-piece of an event. Creating a memorable culinary experience now has to go beyond just tastes and flavours, it has to provide a sensory experience that satisfies all 5 senses to make an impactful impression. As such, chefs must place greater emphasis on finding innovative ways, through flexible set-ups and unique crockery, to develop “eye catching” creations to link the decor, ambience and deliciousness of the food being served,” said Chef Richmond Lim, Unilever Food Solutions’ Ambassador.

Award-winning author Chef Richmond Lim brings over 32 years of banqueting experience in 5-star hotels and convention centres, specializing in today’s modern cuisine.
