SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Food’s Next Chapter: Where Flavor\, Health and Culture Converge with Janet Helm\, MS\, RDN
DESCRIPTION:Today’s food culture is evolving at record speed\, shaped by global flavor exchange\, digital influence and shifting values around health\, sustainability and pleasure. Understanding where food culture is heading — and why — has never been more important for culinary professionals. \nFood and flavor trends are moving into new territory: globally inspired yet locally interpreted indulgent yet intentional\, and deeply connected to storytelling and origin. Social platforms likeTikTok have become powerful tastemakers\, accelerating trends and introducing consumers to bolder flavors\, richer textures and more sensory food experiences. Expect growing demand for foods that deliver depth\, umami and color — often inspired by third-culture cuisines\, immersive dining experiences and a renewed appreciation for little luxuries. \nAt the same time\, the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) and Food as Medicine movements\, climate concerns and rising food prices are reshaping how consumers think about food. Rather than restriction\, today’s health-driven eating emphasizes balance\, satisfaction and ingredient integrity. Even as GLP-1 medications influence portion sizes and product development\,consumers continue to seek foods that feel nourishing\, comforting and worth savoring — especially those made with fewer\, better ingredients. \nJoin Dame Janet Helm for a dynamic\, insight-driven exploration of the key food\, nutrition and flavor trends shaping 2026 and beyond. Janet Helm\, MS\, RDN\, is a Global Food Culture Analyst\, PR Strategist\, and Founder of Food at the Helm consultancy. \nDate: Wednesday\, March 25\, 2026 \nTime:  11:30am \nLocation: ZOOM \nPrice: Free for members. $5 for non-members \nA portion of proceeds will benefit the Chicago chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier\, an organization of women in food\, beverage and hospitality working to support the next generation of women in the industry. \nThank you!
