Summer 2019 – seasonal food trends

Summer is fast approaching, and everyone seems beyond excited for all that comes with it. From BBQ’s to having a splash in outdoor lidos, going on holiday, and catching up with old friends. But, here at Buffets by Design, we’re most excited about the food! We ensure that our dishes are of the best quality and part of that is making sure our ingredients are seasonal. Knowing what herbs, meat, vegetables and fruit in season can be the difference between a mediocre dish and a mouth-watering feast.

Here listed, are some seasonal ingredients to incorporate in your meals this Summer:

  • Basil
  • Courgette
  • Berries
  • Peaches
  • Watermelon
  • Corn
  • Chives
  • Cucumbers
  • Radishes
  • Tomatoes

Cold fork buffets

With a growing interest of health and wellness knowing what is in season and on trend keeps your diet fresh and new, with plenty of opportunities for healthy eating. Our Cold Fork Buffets are perfect for those hot days, including a refreshing ‘Poached Salmon dressed with Cucumber and Lemon’, and tons of salads made up using seasonal veg; ‘Tomato and Red Onion Vinaigrette Salad’ or ‘Sweetcorn and Pepper Salad’. To finish we can make a ‘Pavlova’ with the topping option of seasonal fruits, as well as a healthy fruit salad on the side.

Grills

Essential tools you need to make the most out of summer and the food it brings are grilling supplies. GQ and many other websites can guide you on what supplies will suit you the best. If you’re planning a big function don’t forget to get in touch with us to provide all the tasty dishes and salads. See all our menus here.

Seasonal food for the environment

As well as all the delicious advantages of shopping for seasonal food, it is also better for the environment. Through buying seasonal food you are contributing less to greenhouse gas emissions generated through the transport of goods. Being more consciously aware isn’t only a summer food trend but a food trend on the rise in 2019, as according to The Food People more and more people are interested in consuming food better for the planet, creating less waste, and incorporating more vegan options into their diet.
