In Veganuary, make catering easier with Tipiak

This year’s Veganuary was the biggest yet. And we’re expecting Veganuary 2023 to be even more extensive.

It’s the perfect opportunity to highlight new vegan products and to showcase tasty vegan menu items.

We have created a stunning selection of vegan bite-sized canapés for the Tipiak Vegan Cocktail Selection. It’s so delicious it will appeal to all diners, not just those looking for plant-based options. And it’s available frozen, for maximum convenience.

To help overcome current challenges in the foodservice sector, some venues are choosing to serve entirely vegan items for individual meal courses. This helps both kitchen staff and serving staff.

The Tipiak Vegan Cocktail Selection is an ideal vegan option for hors d’oeuvres, starters or tapas. Simply thaw and serve on a platter of choice. So tasty, it’s sure to be loved by all.

The range features delicious canapés such as cucumber hummus on courgette shortbread and guacamole and almond on walnut crackers. From the falafel style bites to the piquillo and sweet pepper mini tomato tarts, there’s something for everyone.

Tipiak Vegan Cocktail Selection

“There’s no doubt about it, the demand for vegan and vegetarian options continues to rise,” says Marie-Emmanuelle Chessé, international development project manager at Tipiak, which supplies frozen, authentic French sweet and savoury pâtisserie to the hospitality sector. “Some of this is due to people cutting out meat and dairy from their diet but a large part of the demand is coming from people who are reducing their meat and dairy intake. So-called flexitarians.

“Many people are now also more ‘open-minded’ about vegetarian and vegan food, having tried it. This is particularly true of the younger generations who are mindful of sustainability and understand that very often vegan and vegetarian food has a lower carbon footprint than meat.”

This Veganuary, taking place as always in January, is the perfect time to introduce customers to delicious vegan products like The Tipiak Vegan Cocktail Selection.

Frozen canapés are the perfect partner in any professional kitchen. Like all of Tipiak’s range, the frozen canapés are made with the finest ingredients. Prepared by expert bakers and cooks, they are hand-finished – giving them a ‘homemade’ look.

The Tipiak range is available frozen exclusively via distributor Central Foods.

Tipiak showcases thaw and serve pâtisserie at TUCO Conference

French pâtissier Tipiak will be showcasing its new luxury Vegan Cocktail Selection and turning the spotlight on its ‘thaw and serve’ gluten-free macarons at the TUCO conference this month.

The event takes place at Keele University from 25th to 27th July and is a key date on the calendar for university caterers.

Launched in response to increasing demand for plant-based products, Tipiak’s Vegan Cocktail Selection features an exquisite range of attractive bite-sized vegan-friendly pieces.

It’s a range that’s so tasty it will impress all guests, not just those on a plant-based diet!

The unique finger food assortment includes almond cream and edamame bean on pea and mint muffins, carrot, lemon and ginger mousseline mini tarts, cucumber hummus on courgette shortbread, sun-dried cherry tomato and olive tapenade on curry polenta cubes, guacamole and almond on walnut crackers, piquillo and sweet pepper tomato tarts, and falafel bites topped with sesame seeds.

Exquisitely French

Produced and hand-finished in France, Tipiak’s ‘thaw and serve’ products are perfect for university caterers to serve at a range of events from functions and banquets to graduations and conferences.

Serve the savoury morsels with aperitifs or as hors d’oeuvres or canapés to bring some French chic to the occasion! And brighten up any buffet or event with Tipiak’s award-winning pop éclairs and the delightful gluten-free macarons and pop macaron fruits.

Using frozen pre-prepared sweet and savoury pâtisserie helps with long-term planning and frees up staff on the day to prep other parts of the meal. It’s convenient, helps to reduce waste and is also useful when it comes to sharing allergen information with front-of-house staff, as the ingredients for each item are constant and clearly labelled.

The Tipiak range is available frozen exclusively via distributor Central Foods.
