Wareham, MA (PRWEB) January 23, 2014 -- Presented by The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and Harvard School of Public Health – Department of Nutrition, along with Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore and Health Promotion Board, Singapore, the two-day conference focused on a highly targeted audience of approximately 180 attendees from the restaurant, hotel, institutional catering, food manufacturing, government, and nutrition industry sectors, as well as invited media.

'The idea that cooking 'healthy' involves a trade-off with flavor and enjoyment is considerably outdated when one considers the cranberry.' ~ Michael Rosenblum, Executive Chef in Residence of U.S. Ambassador to China

“As cranberries become more and more recognized internationally for their culinary versatility, we also want to make sure that US cranberries are a big part of the dialogue about how healthy food choices can prevent diet-linked chronic diseases,” said Scott J. Soares, Executive Director, CMC. “U.S. cranberries should be a part of food preferences that blend both taste and well-being.”

“With a foundation of the most current nutrition research, the critical task then becomes one of culinary strategy, said Greg Drescher, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Industry Leadership for The Culinary Institute of America. “More than ever, we need a spirit of creativity and discovery tied to deep knowledge of technique and flavour to meet the considerable diet-linked health challenges we face.”

Over the course of the two-day conference, CMC bronze sponsors distributed U.S. cranberry literature and dried cranberry fruit samples at their informational booth. The Executive Chef in Residence of the U.S. Ambassador to China, Michael Rosenblum, highlighted both the berry’s savory as well as sweet culinary applications with two of his many signature dishes featuring US cranberries: a cranberry rubbed chicken Panini with cran-rosemary aioli served at the reception and a cranberry country bread demonstrated on stage.

"As professional chefs, it's our responsibility to remain aware of changing market trends and preferences. Placing greater emphasis on the quality of our food choices and how they impact health and well-being isn't a new concept, but the relevant food service professional is always looking for innovative ways to respond to that demand. The idea that cooking 'healthy' involves a trade-off with flavor and enjoyment is considerably outdated when one considers the cranberry."

The unique conference format seamlessly combined in-depth research about important health issues affected by diet, innovative methods through which such knowledge can be applied in the kitchen, and what it all means from a business and consumer standpoint. The program also included a number of panel discussions on key nutrition topics with decision-making representatives of foodservice operations from various industry sectors in Singapore.

The top ten points emphasized by organizing partners in their Principles of Healthy Menu Research & Development at the Worlds of Healthy Flavors Asia:

1) Think strategically about flavor and world cuisines.
2) Focus on fruits and vegetables first.
3) Increase use of good plant-based oils, eliminate trans fats, and substantially reduce saturated fats.
4) Increase options for healthier protein choices, adding fish, nuts, and legumes.
5) Emphasize good carbohydrates – especially “intact” whole grains.
6) Look for opportunities to reduce salt and sodium in food preparation.
7) Provide a wider range of calorie and portion-size options.
8) Leverage small measures of indulgence for maximum, creative impact.
9) Share nutrition information with customers as appropriate.
10) Engage in a long-term process of discovery to better understand the art and science of healthy menu research and development.

Said Soares, “Ultimately it is up to the consumer to make healthy food choices on a day to day basis and to that end this 10-point guide serves as an excellent roadmap for anyone involved in the food industry.” He added, “Both the nutrient make-up of cranberries and the almost limitless ways in which cranberries can be applied in the kitchen naturally align cranberries to the guide.”
