NPD

“As part of our development process, we study consumer insight reports, conduct our own research and monitor emerging food trends.  The implementation of our ideas comes down to a good old fashioned team of chefs with sharp knives, hot ovens and accurate scales.Emma Cundy Cooper - NPD Manager

The development kitchen at The Bake Factory™ is a hub for creativity, organoleptic activities, benchmarking and innovation.  Innovating food solutions for our customers ranges from; producing the very best new pastry products, providing a hot food to go solution for high street coffee chains, or inventing creative concepts for the travel industry.  The technical environment of our BRC A rated facilities maintains consistency and quality, but it’s in the kitchen that we experiment with flavour profiles, ingredients all of which allow the concept to fly.

Converting ideas such as slow-cooked Bengali beef curry or a range of miniature Mexican Tacos into a reality comes down to recording the recipes in detail. We have a dynamic and professional team of NPD specialists to translate our innovation into a practical solution to suit any client’s needs.

For The Bake Factory™, as food manufacturers, the key components of successful product development include; quality ingredients, an extensive list of suppliers, a process driven approach that charts every little change along the way, accessible recipe archives, collaborating with our customers effectively, and hosting customers here at the bakery in the UK.

BAKE FACTORY™ TRENDS 2018James Strawbridge, executive development chef at The Bake Factory looks at the in vogue and healthy-leaning ingredients to consider using when creating new products

QUINOA - This popular grain is reaching new heights with the emergence of local suppliers like the British Quinoa Company. Quinoa’s appearance in the foodie scene and meteoric rise to superfood status has been something to watch. We enjoy incorporating it into our creations by blending it with flour for savoury muffins, mixing with roasted vegetables for moist vegetarian pie fillings and even using it to replacing rice in ready meals. Also on our horizon this year are ancient grains and spelt flour.

KALE - Kale is still in the limelight with baby kalettes proving popular this season. Now it is so mainstream it is becoming easy to incorporate into new products to meet consumer demands. Recipes such as kale pesto with pumpkin seeds in a caprese wrap, cauliflower cheese & kale pasty for a rich warming hot hand-held snack or an Indian-style kale and spiced potato curry are all proving popular.

CASSAVA - This starchy root vegetable is delicious and hugely popular worldwide. It is really versatile and can be used as an alternative for chunky chips or as a gluten-free flour that balances gut flora. Also keep an eye out for more rice and coconut flour in our pastry NPD.

COLOUR - Adding colour to pastry products is inspired by both the perceived health benefit of colourful food, as well as the added visual impact. The Bake Factory predicts superfoods such as turmeric featuring heavily in Indian pastry innovation, cacao in Mexican empanadas and even spirulina or matcha for green powder in vegan and vegetarian pastries. 

SUPERFOODS - Blending the trend towards sustainability and superfoods, we believe that crickets will appear more and more this year as flour for pastry, flatbreads and wraps.

James Strawbridge will host a Taste of Travel session at the World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE 10th-12th April 2018 at the Hamburg Messe), on how superfoods can be used in the development of new products in the hot savoury sector for the onboard industry.

Food Trend Reports Our team dedicates a great deal of time visiting street food markets, restaurants, reading magazines and communicating

with leading chefs. We then regularly formulate our own internal reports on

upcoming food trends. 

Innovation The heart of our process is the

Innovation Kitchen where we test new combinations and develop innovative

flavour profiles. This stage is exploratory, unfettered by commercial constraints. 

Organoleptic Panelling product and assessing the

profile and bake guidelines is a key part of our process.  We record the findings at every stage to track customer feedback.

Testing We offer support to customers at their point of sale, and can support launches with sampling and small MOQ’s to give a

real chance of success.

Customer Feedback We take all comments and feedback

seriously.  We concentrate on existing product development whenever we see

an opportunity to improve a product.

NPD Our chefs create perfectly tailored catering solutions for you and your

customers.

Presentation We assist with presentations and our

marketing department will mock-up visuals and packaging to accompany the products.

Packaging & Logistics Our international experience at delivering product in cutting-edge packaging is one of

our biggest assets. Over several years we have tested and trailed a range of packaging options that meet different customers requirements.

Marketing our team has vast experience in food media. 

Excellent product photography and video content allows you to engage with customers on various social medial platforms as well as being able to produce point of sale materials

if required. 

Sales Our sales team travel internationally

to facilitate relationships with our clients and we attend trade shows to engage face to face with prospective

customers.

Value For Money Ultimately the products we develop must

be on budget for all links in the supply chain; this means focus on delivering value

CASE STUDY #QUICHE_DEVELOPMENT

The Bake Factory™ has developed a range of gourmet quiche products for a high street coffee chain based on our own consumer insight.

We conducted research into the high street and food service sector and worked with our customer to develop a premium range of quiches that met the demands of high spend, hot food for certain day parts.

We started working on NPD recipes based on findings from our VYPR market research and Mintel Food Reports. The resulting products that we’ve launched include a strong vegetarian profile alongside a more traditional protein based product.

The Quiche Lorraine uses smoked bacon and mature cheddar for an authentic flavour and our vegetarian product is a combination of roasted red pepper and mature cheddar.

CASE STUDY #OLD_EL_PASO

Ranging from our award-winning tacos to chilli beef hot pots, wraps to colourful empanadas.

To bring extra edge to our Bake Factory products, we’ve teamed up with Old El Paso which delivers wraps, empanadas and tacos packed full of flavour.

The complex development process has taken us nearly 12 months but we now have an authentic and innovative Mexican range of products ready for the travel industry. Ranging from our award-winning Tacos to Chilli Beef Hot Pots, wraps to colourful Empanadas.

The fundamental Bake Factory approach has been to capture the Old El Paso meal kit experience in products that are easy to reheat and ready to eat. We have ovenable packaging and meal solutions available for the travel industry that take a proven retail brand and allow people to enjoy gourmet Mexican hot food on the go.

Pastry

Pasties

The Bake Factory™ is based in Cornwall, UK and we have a strong history of manufacturing Cornish pasties.

This traditional and artisan pastry product has a thriving local reputation in the South West of the UK and PGI status (Protected Geographical Indication). Pasties are synonymous with train travel and offer a handheld option for people on the move. The pasty format has been exported in various forms around the globe and there is much in common with the Mexican Empanada, Jamaican Patties or Polish Pierogi.

The Bake Factory has focused on developing an extensive range of pasties that can reheat quickly whilst maintaining wholesome quality. Our pasties are perfect for hot food on the go and the travel sector.

We manufacture both hand-crimped premium pasties and machine sealed in a variety of sizes. The fillings are full of flavour and authentic profiles from around the world.

Shredded chicken seasoned with spices, mild salsa and Mexican cheese.

As a bakery we specialise in pastry rather than baking our own bread on site.

Therefore we have worked extensively to source superb artisan breads for our recipes that reflect the standards our Master Bakers expect. That said, we still bake quick breads for savoury muffins, scones and some cakes in the factory.

The NPD department here at the Bake Factory uses bread products as an effective format to reflect emerging trends quickly from concept to customer and with real visual impact.

We often inspired by street food and iconic pop-up concepts. Then we create authentic recipes for example, Mexican burritos, Indian flatbreads filled with curries, Caribbean grilled cheese toasties or French classics given a modern British gourmet twist.

What is The Bake Factory?

The Bake Factory specialises in creating high quality, great tasting, on-board food experiences for airline, rail and ferry passengers. We take inspiration from food trends across the globe and turn these into products perfect for the ever discerning customer to enjoy during their journey.

How did The Bake Factory come about?

Crantock Foods is a well-established brand in the UK ‘Hot food to go’ market. The company recognised an opportunity to extend that service into the burgeoning travel sector but needed a brand that had global appeal hence The Bake Factory.

What can we expect from The Bake Factory in 2018?

Winning the Mercurys award for the Savoury Food product category at the end of 2017 with our Taco Sliders, and with our vegetable gratin pie, which is currently flying with Delta, in the running for an on-board hospitality award demonstrates how The Bake Factory is gaining profile and credibility in the global hot food to go travel sector. We are very excited therefore about 2018 and the opportunities it will present.

What sets you apart from other manufacturers?

Creativity, innovation, a highly talented development team and a desire to produce on a consistent basis high quality foods that will be enjoyed worldwide. We combine this with a growing own label business where we create and produce foods for a variety of brand including the Frys Family Food Company, Tuk-In Foods and the Posh Pasty Company.

What are the key ingredients for a successful relationship between manufacturer and customer?

It is vital that we work very closely together which means identifying and understanding what the customers needs, challenges and problems are. That means lots of conversations, lots of questions and then of course providing products that match the customer needs. We also need to ensure that throughout the whole life cycle of the customer relationship communication channels with them stay very open so that we can respond and adapt should their needs change.

Recipe

Meet our Development ChefJames Strawbridge

Our Executive Development Chef James Strawbridge is a published author, sustainable living expert and TV presenter who has been working in NPD and food design for the last five years. James has developed an exciting range of innovative products and recipes for the Bake Factory which we are pleased to share with you. James also runs his own award-winning food brand the Posh Pasty Co www.poshpasty.co

This rustic recipe is our fresh interpretation of a humble taco with a Bake Factory twist. Our hay baked chicken adds an earthy flavour that contrasts well with the aromatic wild garlic and citrus notes. Garden peas, samphire and courgette fill the taco with fresh flavours and add a splash of colour to this British woodland inspired dish.

Ingredients: • 2 Chicken Thighs • 4 Flour Tortillas • 50 g Garden Peas • 4 Baby Courgettes • 100g Samphire • Hay • Sea Salt • Cracked Black Pepper

Method:1. Make your Wild Garlic Pesto by blitzing until smooth. Available to forage between February - April in the UK. Substitute with fresh Mint leaves and Broad Bean or Pea Shoots in summer.

2. Preheat your oven to 180˚C and prepare your Chicken by placing into a roasting tin surrounded by Hay. Bake for 25-30 minutes covered with a lid and then remove the skin.

3. Place the skin in a shallow pan to finish or bake between two sheets of baking parchment with a drizzle of oil and generous seasoning of salt. The skin should be crispy.

4. Pan fry the courgettes and samphire for 2-3 minutes in the chicken fat adding the garden peas at the last moment. Squeeze over some lemon juice to deglaze the pan.

5. Serve with a warm flour tortilla. Garnish with pea shoots and a drizzle of wild garlic pesto.

For the Wild Garlic Pesto • 4-6 tbsp Chopped Wild Garlic • 1 tbsp Olive oil • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan • Juice of 1/2 Lemon • Pinch of Sea Salt

HAY BAKED CHICKEN TACO WITH WILD GARLIC For the Wild Garlic Pesto

• 4-6 tbsp Chopped Wild Garlic • 1 tbsp Olive oil • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan • Juice of 1/2 Lemon • Pinch of Sea Salt
