The Power of Taste®
At the Center for Culinary Development & Innovation (CCDI), we marry visibility to emerging trends, marketplace insights, culinary inventiveness, and technical capability to create innovation that can only be delivered by The Power of Taste®.
At the heart of every culinary breakthrough are chefs and culinarians who live and breathe the food industry each day. With our Chefs’ Council, their vision and expertise fast-track the future of food—giving you a creative edge in food and beverage product innovation.
From Kitchen to Commerce
Our work helps visionary brands bring meaningful innovation to the table, crafted with purpose, driven by insight, and built to connect. Every product begins with a story—of people, places, and the ever-evolving way we consume food across the globe. Through marketplace research, data-backed trends exploration, and deep culinary curiosity, these stories are translated into food and beverage concepts that feel both timely and timeless.
