Global flavors are a huge hit on menus, but figuring out how to bring those flavors to CACFP meals can feel tricky. 

This session draws on the National Restaurant Association’s trends, focusing on Indian- and Moroccan-inspired spice blends. These flavors are easy to adjust, use spices you may already have on hand, and fit seamlessly within CACFP meal pattern requirements. 

Join this live cooking demonstration featuring tandoori-style chicken and a Moroccan-style chicken tagine, paired with brown rice, chickpeas, and dried fruit. You will also learn easy ways to adapt recipes to be more plant-forward, including vegetable-based swaps and protein alternatives, along with simple batch cooking strategies and professional seasoning techniques to elevate everyday menus. 

1. Build confidence using global flavors and spices in CACFP-compliant meals. 

2. Apply scalable recipes and seasoning strategies that are flavorful, flexible and kid-approved. 

3. Incorporate cultural variety into menus while maintaining nutrition standards and operational ease.
