Who would have thought that a plant-based burger patty made from soy protein, coconut oil,
potato protein and heme could look and taste so much like real meat. We’re talking about
the meatless patty by Impossible Foods that offers the flavour, aroma and texture you expect
from a beef burger. The Silicon Valley based company created the product with the aim of
eliminating the need for animals as a food production technology and making the global food
system more sustainable. This is just one example of how technology and innovation is changing the way we eat
and drink. As consumers become increasingly concerned about the harmful effects that food production have on
the environment, and demand for healthier ingredients and transparency about where their meals come from,
food companies and entrepreneurs are stepping up to meet these challenges. In this issue, we pay homage to
game changers who are revolutionising the way things are done in the F&B industry (p59). We also take a look at
some of the innovations and ideas that are rippling through the industry—think a waste-free shopping platform,
non-alcoholic spirits, and a food market powered by a futuristic fully-automated ordering experience (p40). A
Singapore-based startup Shiok Meats also hopes to build a sustainable future with lab-grown seafood (p68).
Another interesting discovery we made while putting this issue together is healthy snacks made from marine
ingredients like kelp and water lily seeds. As technology continues to improve and natural ingredients become
easier to cultivate, the trend for innovative food products and services are likely to continue, and we are truly
excited for what’s to come.

Enjoy this issue!

WINE&DINE Magazine Description:

THE LIVING LEGACY

Wine & Dine’s credible editorial has been the cornerstone of making the publication the definitive magazine for gourmands for the past 32 years.

In its latest reiteration, the magazine is a bi-monthly amalgamation of well-researched, long-form articles on food culture and how what we eat continues to shape the world we know.

Each issue takes on a universal theme that is a reflection of the current climate of the F&B industry and beyond, and includes interviews with the chefs and vintners you should be keeping an eye out for.

It's published alongside the magazine's website—www.wnd.sg—where you'll find the latest news from the region and abroad.

Being a gourmand means we appreciate good food no matter where it comes from; expect to see Michelin-starred restaurants of international acclaim featured alongside veterans of traditional food and a new generation of chefs dabbling in experimental, genre-defying cuisine.
