At Classic Fine Foods UK, we bring chefs, customers and suppliers together to learn, taste and connect and TheTasteLab continues to be the perfect place for it. Our recent SOSA Ingredients Tasting Lunch was a focused, technique‑driven session led by Silma Ayres Teodoro alongside our Executive Chef Russell Bateman, designed to showcase how modernist techniques translate into real kitchen applications. Guests experienced a warehouse tour and a four‑course menu with canapés, each dish highlighting key foundations used in professional kitchens: Aeration, gelling, thickening, emulsion and stabilisation. From stable foams to precise textures and balanced emulsions, every element demonstrated how these techniques elevate both flavour and consistency in service. SOSA ingredients, available through Classic Fine Foods, support chefs across both pastry and savoury kitchens with reliable, high‑performance solutions. Thank you to all our guests for joining us and SOSA INGREDIENTS, Silma and Russell for hosting such an inspiring event! More tasting lunches are coming soon at TheTasteLab so stay tuned.
