How cooking better for you, is better for the Earth. 

 A key focus in many 2023 food trends continues to be sustainability.  

Warmer weather has us dreaming of nights on the patio and dinners al fresco with all our favourite foods. With the introduction of commercial air fryers, restaurants can serve up meals with half the fat and absolutely no oil. From easy appetizers to delicious mains, healthy veggie options and even desserts, air fryers can create plenty of restaurant favourites without the added oil used in conventional frying.  

If you find yourself reaching for a cooking oil, choose one that contains the healthiest fats—monounsaturated and polyunsaturated—and try to steer clear of those that are processed and refined.

Upon walking in, there is a serene feeling as you glance from their coffee & food bar, glass walled kitchen, and its open space.

Meeting great exhibitors and great customers. 

These, to name a few, are the reasons why the TFI team enjoyed this year’s show at the Enercare Centre in Toronto.  After the conclusion of the three-day event, it can easily be said that this show was a success! Throughout the event, our team met and spoke with a multitude of exhibitors, existing and potential customers, some who traveled quite the distance to experience this year’s show.
