There’s a free from and ‘alternative’ theme to this issue, with our features covering the importance of offering food that increasingly reflects the changing dietary requirements of consumers (namely, the
demand for milk alternatives and other ‘free from’ foods such as vegan and gluten-free options). Tea and the importance of a café’s cultural
role are also highlighted.
We are pleased to report that the recent European Coffee Expo was well received, offering what proved to be an international mix of visitors the chance to network and do business, as well as
avail themselves of some informative advice and insight from the comprehensive theatre and conference programme.
