California Walnuts had the opportunity to sponsor The Culinary Institute of America’s Global Plant-Forward Culinary Summit in Napa Valley this April. CIA chefs showcased how walnuts can add value and appeal on menus through innovative items like Mediterranean sweet potato hash with walnut breakfast sausage and walnut pesto, Turkish pizza with walnuts and walnut chorizo breakfast tacos. California Walnuts enjoyed connecting with chefs, foodservice operators and experts in food, flavor development, cooking, agriculture and food production and sharing our own insights on how California walnuts are a key ingredient in arguably the most significant culinary trend at the moment – plant-forward diets.
