Word of the day: Organoleptic This was a new one for us. It means acting on, or involving the use of, the sense organs. Simply put, the 'organoleptic' characteristics of an ingredient are a combination of its appearance, aroma, taste and texture. When steaming in the iCombi Pro, the organoleptic properties of your ingredients are enhanced while the colours and flavours are brighter and bolder. See for yourself bit.ly/4b4ub1R

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
