Learn from tomorrow's consumers — Flavour Forecast 2016 Recipe Challenge

McCormick Foods Australia and the Home Economics Institute of Australia Inc. (HEIA) have launched the Years 9 & 10 Flavour Forecast 2016 Student Recipe Challenge.

Each year, McCormick releases the Flavour Forecast report, a highly anticipated look at emerging culinary trends expected to drive flavour innovation over the next several years. This report is created by a team of McCormick chefs, home economists, sensory scientists, dietitians, trend trackers, marketing experts and food technologists from around the world.

Now in its fourth year, the McCormick/HEIA Student Recipe Challenge provides an opportunity for Year 9 and Year 10 home economics students in Australian schools to explore these flavours in more detail and develop a series of recipes based around the 2016 trendsetting themes.

This year’s challenge prize pool is over $10,000, including a national prize of a $2000 voucher for the winning school and an HEIA one-year school membership. In addition, each state winning group will receive a pack of Tupperware products and McCormick herbs and spices.

The competition closes on 21 October 2016 and winners will be announced on 7 November 2016. This challenge is subject to terms and conditions, which are available in the competition pack.
